A pediatric dental emergency is a sudden dental problem that causes pain, swelling, bleeding, or injury and needs immediate care for a child. Fast treatment protects teeth, stops infection, and reduces pain.

Our pediatric dental office provides kids dental emergency care with same-day appointments. Children receive calm, gentle care from a trained pediatric dentist who understands urgent needs.

What Counts as a Pediatric Dental Emergency?

A pediatric dental emergency involves pain, trauma, or infection that cannot wait. These problems can worsen within hours.

Common dental emergencies for children include:

  • Child tooth pain emergency that does not stop
  • Knocked-out tooth from a fall or sports injury
  • Broken or chipped tooth causing pain
  • Dental abscess with swelling or pus
  • Tooth infection with fever or facial swelling
  • Bleeding gums after dental trauma

Emergency care follows standards from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD).

When to Call an Emergency Dentist for Children

Call an emergency dentist for children the same day when pain, swelling, or injury appears. Waiting increases the risk of infection and tooth loss.

Urgent pediatric dental care is needed when a child has:

  • Severe toothache lasting more than a few hours
  • Swollen face, lips, or gums
  • Fever linked to dental pain
  • Loose or displaced tooth after injury
  • Broken tooth with exposed nerve
  • Signs of dental abscess or infection

  • Swelling near the tooth or gums
  • Constant throbbing pain
  • Fever or fatigue
  • Bad taste or drainage

Emergency treatment focuses on stopping infection and relieving pain.

Answers to questions you may have

Can't find what you're looking for?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling, bleeding, or dental injuries caused by accidents or sports.

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist (in milk or saliva) and contact us immediately. Quick action can help save the tooth.

Yes. We do our best to provide same-day emergency appointments to relieve pain and prevent further damage.

You can give age-appropriate pain medication (like acetaminophen or ibuprofen) and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.

Regular dental checkups, wearing mouthguards during sports, and good oral hygiene can help prevent many dental emergencies.
