Kids can accidentally knock out their teeth while running or playing. This is most common with kids active in sports and other physical activities due to physical impact or falling. Kids with knocked-out teeth require immediate dental attention to save the teeth and prevent infection of the teeth sockets.
The primary teeth kids have aren’t as strong as permanent adult teeth. Their teeth are likely to chip and fracture from impact or after biting down on something hard. This qualifies as a dental emergency if the chip or fracture is large enough to expose the sensitive pulp.
Kids experiencing severe toothaches resistant to ordinary painkillers may need emergency treatment from a pediatric dentist. This pain could be from a deep cavity or a broken tooth. Either way, an emergency dentist visit is necessary to stop the pain once and for all.
The first thing to do in a dental emergency is to call your Burton pediatric dentist and explain the situation to them as clearly as you can. Ask the dentist whether they’re available so they can prepare for your particular emergency.
In case of bleeding, use a cotton gauze or clean cloth and press it gently on the bleeding site to stop or reduce the bleeding. This should stop the bleeding long enough for you to get to the dentist's office.
In case of a knocked out or fractured tooth, preserve the tooth or its broken fragments. Keep it in a glass of milk or somewhere safe as you rush to the dental clinic.
The dentist is your best bet for solving your dental emergency. Visit your dentist to get the best treatment for your situation. You may receive strong painkillers to suppress the pain while you wait for treatment.
A chipped tooth may or may not be a dental emergency. Here’s some scenarios to help you understand what we mean: A chipped tooth that exposes the pulp in your tooth’s root is a dental emergency. Exposing this pulp leads to severe pain that requires prompt dental assistance to stop.
Chipped teeth with minor pain and sensitivity might not warrant a dental emergency. A regular dental visit will help address the situation. However, a chipped tooth with unbearable pain means you should see the dentist immediately. That way, you can stop the pain and prevent your tooth from getting infected.
