Pediatric Dental Emergencies in East Dallas, TX

Providing the Care Your Family Needs

At Lakewood Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics in East Dallas, TX, we understand that pediatric dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and often at inconvenient times. But there’s no need to worry, because we’re here to help you and your family when the need arises. Whether it’s a toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our dedicated team is prepared to provide immediate and effective care to address urgent dental needs and alleviate discomfort.

Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies

Toothaches: These can be caused by cavities, infections, or even food particles lodged between teeth. Gentle cleaning around the area may relieve pain, but if discomfort persists, it’s essential to see a dentist.
Broken, Chipped, or Cracked Teeth: Save any broken pieces. Rinse the mouth and any broken pieces with warm water. If there’s swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth or cheek.
Knocked-Out Tooth: For a permanent tooth, if possible, place it back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in a container of milk or the child’s saliva. For a baby tooth, do not try to reinsert it as it may damage the permanent tooth underneath.
Bitten Tongue or Lip: Clean the area gently with water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If bleeding is heavy or doesn’t stop, seek medical attention.

Our Approach to Emergency Dental Care for Children

We prioritize dental emergencies and strive to see your child as soon as possible. Our goal is to relieve pain and ensure your child’s comfort while addressing the underlying issue. After an emergency treatment, we provide detailed instructions on how to care for your child’s dental health at home. We also schedule follow-up visits to monitor recovery and prevent future problems.

Preventing Children’s Dental Emergencies

Routine Check-Ups: Regular dental visits allow us to catch and treat issues before they develop into emergencies.
Protective Gear: For children involved in sports, we recommend custom-made mouthguards to protect their teeth and gums from injury.
Education on Dental Health: Teaching children about the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene and using proper techniques can reduce the risk of dental emergencies.

Great experience for my son’s first dentist appointment!

They were very sociable and excited to see my twin boys. They were attentive and answered all concerns I had and reassured me with the oral health.
