What Is a Pediatric Dental Emergency?
Call us right away if your child has any of the following:
- Knocked-out (avulsed) or loose tooth from a fall or sports injury
- Fractured or chipped tooth
- Severe toothache, facial swelling, or a possible abscess
- Injuries to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums
See common scenarios and what to do on our Pediatric Emergencies page.
Why Choose a Pediatric Emergency Dentist?
Children’s mouths are still growing, so emergencies need a kid-focused approach. Our team:
- Uses child-sized instruments and age-appropriate imaging
- Considers growth and development in every treatment plan
- Focuses on gentle techniques and positive experiences
Get to know our practice on the About page.
First Aid Before You Arrive
- Knocked-out permanent tooth: Pick it up by the crown (top), not the root. If possible, gently place it back in the socket or store it in milk. Step-by-step guide.
- Tooth fracture: Rinse with lukewarm water; apply a cold compress for swelling.
- Toothache: Rinse to clear debris. Do not place aspirin on the tooth or gums.
- Soft-tissue injury: Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze to control bleeding.
Immediate Pain Relief
We prioritize your child’s comfort from the moment you call. Same-day emergency visits are often available, and we’ll provide guidance over the phone before you arrive. Start here: Contact Bee Happy Pediatric Dentistry.
Expert Care for Dental Trauma
Swift, precise care can improve outcomes for knocked-out or fractured teeth. Our pediatric team understands how to protect developing teeth and surrounding tissues to support the best possible healing.
Learn more about pediatric dental crowns and tooth extractions used in trauma restoration when appropriate.
Preventing Long-Term Complications
Prompt treatment reduces infection risk and helps guide proper oral development. Depending on the situation, we may recommend:
- Preventive care to protect healing tissues and prevent new decay
- Space maintainers to preserve alignment after premature tooth loss
- Restorative solutions within our restorative dentistry services
Kid-Friendly, Calming Environment
Our welcoming, child-centered space and gentle communication help ease anxiety during urgent visits. Explore our philosophy and amenities on the About page.
Clear Communication With Parents
We explain the diagnosis, treatment options, and home-care instructions in simple, supportive language—so you feel confident every step of the way. Find helpful forms and guides in Patient Resources.
Early Intervention for Developmental Issues
Some emergencies reveal breathing or functional habits that affect growth. When needed, we may recommend myofunctional therapy to support healthy breathing, speech, and sleep.
