Children may face various dental emergencies, including:
- Toothache: Sudden and persistent pain, often due to cavities or infections.
- Chipped or Broken Tooth: Typically from falls or sports injuries, which may require prompt attention to prevent complications.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If a permanent tooth is knocked out, it should be stored in milk and brought to a dentist immediately. Give us a call to schedule an appointment. No immediate care is necessary.
- Object Stuck Between Teeth: Use dental floss gently, and avoid sharp tools to avoid injury.
- Bitten Lip or Tongue: Clean the area gently and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling.
Early intervention can prevent more serious issues and promote long-term dental health.
