FAQs About Emergency Dentistry for Children
- What Are Considered Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies require immediate attention to protect your child’s oral health and well-being.
These can include a painful tooth, a loose or lost tooth, a broken or chipped tooth, swollen or bleeding gums, tooth decay, infection, or injuries to the mouth. Emergencies may also involve issues with braces, fillings, crowns, bridges, or other dental work.
If your child is experiencing pain, whether due to an accident, worsening symptoms, or regular wear, it’s crucial to see a dentist for emergency care or repair. Ignoring the problem could lead to more severe issues, including serious infections or further damage.
Don’t wait—reach out to us for the care your child needs.
- Can You Go To the ER for A Dental Emergency?
If your child is facing a life-threatening emergency or a serious health concern, the hospital emergency room (ER) is the best place to go for immediate care. They can help stop bleeding, manage severe pain, or address other urgent medical needs.
Sometimes, the ER may provide temporary relief until you can bring your child to the dentist for specialized treatment.
Dental emergencies that may require an ER visit include:
- Head or neck injuries
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Persistent bleeding or severe swelling
- Sudden and intense pain
It’s always better to seek help right away in any situation involving your child’s health and safety.

For serious dental emergencies, Dr. Kaleel will prioritize getting your child in for same-day treatment to address the issue quickly. If the situation isn’t urgent, they will schedule the earliest available appointment to ensure your child receives the care they need as soon as possible.
Don’t wait—your child’s comfort and health are our top priorities.
- What Is the Most Common Dental Emergency?
Common dental emergencies for children include toothaches, knocked-out permanent teeth, and cracked teeth.
It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental checkups to help prevent emergencies like tooth decay or gum disease.
If your child experiences an injury, trauma, or dental pain and you’re unsure what to do, don’t wait—contact us right away for guidance and care.
- Will the ER Pull a Tooth?
There are many reasons for a tooth extraction, but a dentist must evaluate the decision to pull a tooth.
The ER does not perform dental work but treats the immediate problem to stop bleeding, control infection, or relieve pain. Once the bleeding is controlled, you should visit your dentist for specialized care.
In some instances, the dentist may be able to save your tooth. If the tooth cannot be saved, your dentist will work with you to create a customized plan to restore your tooth’s look and function.
