Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies

When unexpected dental situations arise, knowing what to do is crucial:

• Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (never the root), gently rinse it clean, and if possible, place it back in the socket or store it in milk while seeking immediate care.
• Severe Toothache: Clean the area, check for trapped food, and use cold compresses for comfort while awaiting emergency treatment.
• Broken or Chipped Tooth: Save any broken pieces, rinse the mouth with warm water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean and protect any sharp edges until you can reach our office.
