A dental emergency can be a distressing experience for both children and parents, and it requires immediate attention. At Kingdom Kids Dental, we understand the urgency of these situations and strive to provide prompt, compassionate care when your child needs it most. Whether it is a sudden toothache, a chipped tooth or another dental issue, Dr. Benjamin Wilson, Dr. Farrah Anderson and our team are here to help.

Common pediatric dental emergencies include severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth and injuries to the gums or lips. We also treat dental emergencies involving lost fillings, crowns or damage to the soft tissues of the mouth. These situations can be painful and sometimes frightening for children. If your child experiences any of these emergencies, it is crucial to contact our office as soon as possible. We will do everything we can to accommodate your child and ensure they receive the appropriate care swiftly.

Our team will also provide instructions on what to do until you can arrive at our office. For example:

  • In the event of a knocked-out tooth, time is of the essence. It is important to locate the tooth, if possible, and bring it to our office in a container of milk or saliva to preserve the root.
  • For a chipped or broken tooth, rinsing the mouth with warm water and applying a cold compress can help alleviate pain until you arrive at our office.
  • Severe toothaches should never be ignored, as they can be a sign of infection or another serious issue that requires immediate attention.

If your child has sustained any injury to the head or neck, we recommend visiting the emergency room first to rule out more serious complications before seeking dental care. Your child’s health and safety are our highest priorities.
