Dental Services for Kids

Kids Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and in any location. An emergency dentist specializes in taking care of dental emergencies at any time of the day or night. A dental related emergency is typically associated with some type of traumatic tooth injury or damage as well as any extreme unexplained pain. In many cases emergency dental care for kids may involve the extraction of a tooth or the filling of a tooth as well as replacing a crown that may have become detached.

Talk with your dental care provider to make sure that dental emergency type services are available when needed. Those who experience intense pain or traumatic dental injury such as a shattered or broken tooth should seek out emergency care as soon as possible. Never put off dental care when a dental emergency happens. Keep in mind that some dental emergencies are more complicated than others. For example, completely losing a tooth or having a tooth knocked out is considered a very serious dental emergency. A loose crown is typically an emergency but not as severe as a knocked out tooth.
