Urgent Tooth Care!

At Seedling Kids Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time. Dr. Noyan Aynechi and her team are here to provide prompt and effective emergency dental care to ensure your child’s oral health is quickly restored.

Common Dental Emergencies

Toothache: Severe tooth pain can be a sign of infection or decay and requires immediate attention. A toothache can significantly impact your child’s daily activities, including eating, speaking, and sleeping.

Knocked-Out Tooth: If a tooth is knocked out, it’s crucial to seek dental care immediately to increase the chances of saving the tooth. Proper handling and prompt treatment are essential for successful reimplantation.

Broken or Chipped Tooth: Quick treatment can prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s appearance and function. A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain, sensitivity, and potential damage to the surrounding teeth and gums.

Loose Tooth: A loose tooth due to injury or decay needs prompt evaluation to determine the best course of action. This can help prevent the tooth from falling out prematurely and causing alignment issues or other complications.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Stay Calm: Try to remain calm and reassure your child. Your composure can help reduce their anxiety and make the situation less stressful for them.

Contact Us Immediately: Call Seedling Kids Dentistry as soon as possible. We will provide guidance on what to do next and arrange an emergency appointment. Our team is trained to handle dental emergencies promptly and efficiently.

Handle with Care: If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (top) and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with water if dirty, and try to reinsert it into the socket if possible. If not, place it in a container of milk or saline solution and bring it to the dental office.

Pain Management: Use a cold compress to reduce swelling and over-the-counter pain relievers to manage discomfort until you can see the dentist. Avoid giving your child aspirin, as it can increase bleeding.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

While some dental emergencies are unavoidable, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk:

Regular Dental Check-Ups: Regular dental visits help monitor your child’s oral health and catch potential issues early before they become emergencies.

Protective Gear: Encourage your child to wear a mouthguard during sports or recreational activities to protect their teeth from injury.

Good Oral Hygiene: Teach your child proper brushing and flossing techniques to maintain healthy teeth and gums. A healthy mouth is less prone to infections and other dental issues.

Healthy Diet: Limit sugary snacks and drinks that can lead to tooth decay. A balanced diet supports overall oral health and reduces the risk of cavities and other dental problems.
