So, how do you know if your child is having a dental emergency?
If your child loses a baby tooth – If a baby tooth is knocked out (well before time for their permanent teeth to come in) then immediately contact your emergency dentist for help. Luckily, this is their first set of teeth but a dentist needs to inspect the area to make sure that the new tooth will not come in poorly because of the damage.
If your child loses a permanent tooth – If you child loses a permanent tooth due it getting knocked out or just becomes loose – the first thing you should do is contact your emergency dentist. Then you should clean the area with cool water and if the tooth can be placed back into the area then clean it with cold water and do so. If you are unable to do this then place the tooth in cool water and go to your emergency dentist as soon as possible.
Damaged tooth or tooth pain – If your child has chipped their tooth or is experiencing sever tooth pain out of nowhere – the best thing you can do is to call your emergency dentist and see if they can walk through what the best form of action is. If they feel you should come in then always take the suggestion from the dentist!
