Emergency Dental: After an Accident

Accidents happen, especially when you have active kids. If your child comes home with a dental injury, like a loose or broken tooth, knowing what to do can make a huge difference in their recovery. At Pediatrics on Park, we are here to provide quick and caring emergency dental care and advice at any time.

Top Signs Your Child Needs To See an Emergency Dentist

You need to call your dentist or seek emergency dental care for your child if:

• A tooth has been knocked out
• They have significant pain or swelling
• A tooth has been pushed out of place or a permanent tooth is loose
• A tooth or teeth have been broken, cracked, or chipped
• There are signs of an infection, such as pus or a fever
• There is heavy bleeding

If you notice these or other significant signs of injury or pain, call our office at 908-291-8600. Seeking quick treatment can help prevent tooth loss and take care of the underlying causes of pain or dysfunction.

When Can You Wait To See a Dentist?

Not all dental issues are emergencies, and you may be able to wait before seeing a dentist. If your child has minor tooth sensitivity, a small chip without pain, or mild gum irritation, you can call us to schedule a regular visit. Just keep monitoring the issue to ensure it doesn’t get worse.
