What is Considered a Pediatric Dental Emergency?
There are many circumstances that may qualify as a dental emergency for your child, whether it’s because blood flow won’t stop, a natural adult tooth needs to be saved, there’s a serious infection, or your child is experiencing severe pain. Any of the following situations may also qualify as a pediatric dental emergency:
- Knocked-out teeth
- Fractures
- Severe toothache
- Broken or cracked tooth
- Lost fillings
- Certain head injuries
- Bleeding gums
- Broken braces or wires
- New hypersensitivity in the teeth
- Object caught in tooth
Ultimately, if you or your child feel that your child is experiencing an emergency, it is better to be safe than sorry. An emergency dental practitioner may be able to complete specific tooth-saving procedures that general medical providers in the hospital, emergency room, or urgent care cannot.
Steps to Take During a Dental Emergency
Following a dental emergency with your kid, you must try to remain calm. Especially if your child is already concerned or in pain, staying collected in the face of concern can help. This may help your kid calm down, trust you during a hectic situation, and come to you in future emergencies as well.
In addition to staying calm, we recommend using the following first-aid suggestions:
- After a bitten lip or tongue, gently clean the area and apply a cold compress to reduce pain and inflammation.
- If a tooth is broken, gently rinse the area and apply a cold compress. You may bring in the pieces you find to the dentist.
- When a permanent tooth is lost, be careful to only handle it by the crown. Rinse the root of the tooth if it is dirty and carefully and quickly place the tooth back into the socket, or place it in milk and prepare to bring it and your child to the dentist immediately.
The emergency dentist can provide your child with care relatively quickly, but following proper first-aid procedures may help in the long run. Please contact us when you’re on your way, whenever possible. In some cases, we may be able to provide you with better instructions or directions for at-home care.

What Should You Expect During Your Emergency Dental Appointment
We should be available to meet with you and your child as soon as you arrive. We will generally interview the parents to determine the nature of the emergency, though practitioners may ask your child a few questions to gather further information.
We’ll want to collect information, including when the injury was sustained, how long your child has been experiencing pain, and whether there were any other symptoms. In some cases, an X-ray may help our dental practitioners identify and address the emergency more quickly and effectively.
Following a clinical exam and assessment, we can recommend treatment plans, including whether an emergency procedure or treatment is necessary. If you want to ensure your child feels safe during an emergency visit to the dentist, Esteem Dental is dedicated to providing outstanding dental care to patients of all ages, including your kiddos and the whole family.
