FAQ – dental emergencies and how to handle them:

Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water and gently floss around the affected tooth to remove any food particles. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it can cause irritation. Use a cold compress on the cheek if there is swelling. Contact us for prompt relief and treatment.

Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water and collect any broken pieces of the tooth if possible. Apply a piece of gauze to control any bleeding and use a cold compress to reduce swelling. Bring your child to see us as soon as possible for a professional evaluation and repair.

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it with water without scrubbing. If you can, place the tooth back in the socket or keep it in a container of milk. Time is crucial, so contact our office immediately for the best chance of saving the tooth.

A dental emergency often involves severe pain, uncontrollable bleeding, or trauma to the face or mouth. If your child has a knocked-out permanent tooth, a cracked or broken tooth causing pain, or severe swelling in the gums or face, these are clear signs they need immediate care. If you are unsure, call our office immediately—we can help assess the situation over the phone.

First, have your child rinse their mouth with warm salt water to clean the area. Use dental floss to gently remove any food trapped between teeth. You can apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek to reduce swelling or pain. Over-the-counter children’s pain relievers can help, but never place aspirin directly on the gums or tooth, as this can burn the tissue.
