What is Emergency Dental Care for Kids?
Emergency dental care for kids focuses on addressing urgent dental problems to quickly relieve pain, prevent infections, and protect your child’s teeth. Here’s what emergency care includes:
- Relieving Severe Pain: Providing prompt care for toothaches or injuries to ensure your child feels comfortable.
- Controlling Infections: Treating abscesses or swelling to stop infections from spreading.
- Repairing Injuries: Fixing broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or injuries to gums and lips to restore oral health.
- Preventing Further Damage: Stabilizing loose teeth or splinting injuries to prevent complications.
What Are The Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies?
Dental Avulsion
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, it can often be saved if re-implanted within an hour. Baby teeth are not re-implanted but still require evaluation to prevent issues.
Intruded Tooth
A tooth pushed deeper into the jawbone after trauma needs immediate attention to prevent root or tissue damage.
Dental Luxation
A loose or misaligned tooth should be stabilized promptly to prevent further damage or the need for extraction.
Fractured Tooth Root
Cracks in a tooth’s root can cause discomfort or infection. These may require X-rays to determine the best treatment.
Dental Abscess
Painful swelling near a tooth or gum, often from cavities or trauma, requires prompt drainage and antibiotics to stop infection.
Damaged Dental Pulp
Deep cracks exposing the tooth’s pulp may need pulpotomy or root canal treatment to save the tooth.
Broken Orthodontic Appliances
Loose braces or wires should be addressed quickly to avoid injury to the mouth or delays in treatment progress.
