Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies

Growing Smiles Children’s Dentistry is prepared to address a variety of dental emergencies, including:

• Knocked-Out Teeth: If your child’s tooth is knocked out due to an accident or injury, it’s crucial to act quickly. We can often re-implant the tooth if you bring it to us within the first hour.
• Baby Tooth: If something happens to any of your child’s primary teeth (baby teeth) please take your child to the dentist as soon as possible. If a baby tooth is completely out, DO NOT put it back into the tooth socket. Putting a baby tooth back into the socket could harm the permanent (adult) tooth underneath.
• Adult Tooth: If an adult tooth (permanent) tooth is knocked out it needs to be put back into the socket as soon as possible’ After you find the tooth , hold it by the crown(top),not the root. If the tooth looks dirty, rinse the tooth briefly with water. DO NOT SCRUB THE TOOTH OR REMOVE ANY ATTACHED BITS OF Tissue.If possible, gently insert and hold the tooth in its socket with a clean wet washcloth or napkin. If this is not possible, put the tooth in a container with milk, saliva or saline (salt solution 8 oz of water mixed with % teaspoon of water). If none of those liquids are available, put the tooth in water.

  TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THE DENTIST AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN.

• Broken or Cracked Tooth: Rinse the mouth with warm water to keep the area clean, put a cold compress (an ice pack or a washcloth with ice wrapped inside) on the face to reduce swelling.
