When to Call an Emergency Dentist for Your Child
Kids are active and full of energy, which means dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Common situations that require emergency dental care for children include:
- A broken or chipped tooth from a fall or impact.
- Severe pain, swelling, or sensitivity.
- A knocked-out tooth.
- Oral injuries to the tongue, lips, or gums.
If your child experiences any of these issues, don’t wait—call us right away. Our team will provide immediate guidance over the phone and prepare for your visit to ensure your child gets the care they need as soon as possible.
