When Would You Need a Pediatric Dental Emergency Visit?
There are a lot of possible reasons to need an emergency visit with the dentist. Children who participate in sports and are generally active can have a number of accidents that might damage teeth. Here are a few of the most common issues we see:
Lost tooth.
The loss of an adult tooth can be a serious thing. Losing a baby tooth through trauma can also be painful and can possibly damage other areas of the mouth or the permanent tooth coming in behind it.
Cracked or chipped tooth.
A cracked or chipped tooth can be painful, especially in a permanent tooth where the roots might be exposed. In some cases, there will be no need for intervention and in other instances, you'll need to have work done to fix the damage and prevent decay.
Dislocated tooth.
Young children are especially prone to injuries that might push baby teeth back up into the gum line or move them out of alignment. This can be a serious injury and may impact alignment or other mouth health. It's important you have the child's mouth examined as soon as possible in these scenarios.
Mouth injury.
Many children suffer from mouth injuries that have no effect on the teeth. This might include abrasions, soreness, and bruising and can often be treated at home. In serious cases, you might need to see a physician.
An object stuck in the mouth.
This is more common than you might think. In some cases, the object can be removed at home but it depends on the damage to the tissue and type of injury.
How serious is my child's dental injury?
Children often have accidents and these injuries can include dental damage. Of course, this is exceptionally worrying for parents. You want to know how serious the injury might be and what the best remedy is. There's no way to tell the seriousness of an injury through a web page. It's always best to consult a dentist on any serious injury. In some cases, you may even need to see a doctor or go to an emergency room.
Many dental injuries are minor. Common causes include sports injuries and random incidents where a child might slip and fall.
