Common Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency is any situation that requires prompt attention from our pediatric dentist to resolve. Common dental emergencies include:
- Toothaches or other tooth pain, especially when it is severe or lasting
- Damage to your child’s mouth, such as their tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
- Cracked, fractured, chipped or otherwise broken teeth
- Partially or fully knocked-out teeth
While most children don’t need to receive fillings or other restorations, if your child has received this type of treatment in the past and their restoration is damaged or lost, please contact our office so that our pediatric dentist can evaluate their restoration and determine if it should be repaired or replaced.

Our assistants are PAL (pediatric advanced life support) certified, and our office is CPR certified. We also take a functional, whole-body approach to your child’s care and will go the extra mile to ensure their safety and continued wellbeing, especially if they have experienced a dental emergency.
Other Emergencies
If your child has experienced trauma to their head or neck, or if you believe their injury could be severe or life-threatening, please call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room, even if their teeth and smile are also damaged.
