What’s a dental emergency?

Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

Falling down is just part of growing up, and from toothache, to broken bones (how is it a toddler can always find some way to get into trouble?), we’ve seen it all. Here are some things we commonly see in our office – please give us a call if your child is experiencing any of these symptoms.

Toothache

A child’s toothache is usually caused by a cavity getting bigger. We have lots of different treatmnts and strategies to get rid of toothache.

Swelling

An abscess or swelling can appear on the gum or face when bacteria in a cavity get deeper into the tooth. We’re here to alleviate the pain from tooth abscess, making your child feel better.

Broken tooth

Sometimes it’s a bike accident, a sibling wrestling match, or even biting into a metal fork in the wrong way…broken teeth happen all the time. Bring the broken piece with you if you can find it.
Knocked out teeth often happen for the same reasons and again, we see this in our practice very often. Is it a baby tooth that’s been wiggly for a while? Then, no worries – save it for the tooth fairy. Is it an adult tooth? Grab it by the white crown portion, give it a quick rinse under cold water and put it back in the socket before calling the office to make an appointment to see Dr. Fran.

Loose tooth

Baby teeth start coming loose from as early as age 5. If your child has a loose baby tooth, start the wiggle!
If a tooth is loose from a trauma, especially if it’s an adult tooth, keep it steady by biting into a clean cloth and call the office.

How To Manage Toothache Until You See A Dentist

Lessen the pain, make your child feel comfortable.

Keep the area clean. Remove any food debris or plaque in the toothache area with a toothbrush or dental floss.

Rinsing with salt water helps to clean and reduce inflammation over time.

Medications – Advil (Ibuprofen) and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be used safely in children. Avoid Aspirin or Orajel in infants and children.

Chamomile has shown its effectiveness in soothing discomfort and decreasing inflammation. Try to have your child gargle with or drink chamomile tea.

Use of clove, thyme and peppermint are popular home remedies that you may have come across on the internet. Although all these herbs can be helpful for toothache, they have not been studied enough to be used safely in children.
