4 Signs Your Child Needs An Emergency Dentist

  • Dental health is important and it is most
    important in a child, who is young and still
    developing. They say, teach the child something
    good and he will bring it with him throughout his
    life.
  • When you instill good dental habits to a young
    individual, you offer to him an opportunity to
    properly protect the health and beauty of his
    smile. The relationship that your child forms
    with his dentist at a young age is of true value,
    more so if the dentist is an emergency dentist.

  • A dentist just the same, an emergency dentist is
    skilled and equipped is someone who can attend
    not only to basic dental procedures, routine in
    most dental offices, he can also deal with cases
    that are special to an emergency dental clinic.
  • An emergency dentist and his staff is full
    equipped and ready for anything. With children, a
    number of emergencies can strike. Here are 4
    signs your child needs an emergency dentist

If your child has broken a tooth
  • If your child has broken a tooth just from plain
    use or because he met an accident, the break
    could vary in degree and severity. If the break
    is quite small, the teeth will be repaired and
    restored to its normal esthetics and function.
    This may be done with a tooth filling, but if the
    break is more severe, the tooth may receive a
    pulp treatment before it is restored.

5
If your child broke his jaw
  • Broken jaws are dangerous and when a child breaks
    his jaw because of a physical blow to the face,
    it should be addressed immediately before things
    get worse. Depending on the severity of the
    fracture, the patient may receive a splint or he
    may need to undergo surgery to immobilize the jaw
    and replace any lost or broken fragments.

6
If your childs tooth was removed from the socket
  • This can happen and when it does, you will need
    to bring the child to the dentist so that the
    tooth could be replaced back into the socket. As
    long as the tooth condition permits, it may be
    brought back and restabilized. As long as the
    vital structures are intact, it could be replaced
    in the socket, as if nothing happened.

If your child is experiencing extreme tooth pain
  • Extreme tooth pain is usually related to severe
    dental caries and infection. Depending on how
    severe the case is, a tooth filling, pulp
    treatment or tooth extraction may be prescribed
    to bring immediate relief.
  • When choosing a dentist, you can choose to go to
    an ordinary practitioner or you can visit a
    dental office and have your child see a
    specialist. An emergency dentist will know what
    to do for risky situations.
