Dental emergencies are scary for kids and parents alike.

Having a dentist readily available to help with dental emergencies for kids is the key to achieving this.

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and the staff at Greatest Smiles On Earth want to be able to meet young patients' needs as these emergencies occur. Some examples of potential dental emergencies are highlighted below, along with steps to take to help soothe pain and discomfort until the patient can see a dentist:

  • Toothache: If a child is experiencing a toothache, they should be brought to see a dentist quickly, who will then be able to determine the cause and how to treat it.
  • Broken or chipped tooth: If a child has a broken or chipped tooth, they should be taken to the dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, they can use a cold compress to help reduce pain and discomfort.
  • Knocked-out tooth: A knocked-out tooth can potentially be put back into a patient's tooth socket. If the tooth is missing entirely, then a dentist will help find a way to replace it. Either way, the patient should be brought to a dentist immediately.
  • Orthodontic emergencies: Younger patients wearing braces may experience a rubber band or bracket coming loose or going missing. When this happens, the patient should be brought in for treatment as soon as possible.
  • Bitten lip or tongue: A severe bite should be taken immediately. However, it is common to accidentally bite one's tongue or lip, so it is important to monitor the severity of the injury.
  • Other dental emergencies: Some emergencies may require additional visits to fully treat the issue. Injuries like a jaw fracture will require the help of a surgeon. These kinds of emergencies should be treated at a hospital if a dentist is unavailable to help immediately.
