What are common dental emergencies for kids?
Common pediatric dental emergencies include:
- Severe toothaches
-
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
-
Knocked-out permanent teeth
-
Loose or displaced teeth after an injury
-
Dental abscesses or facial swelling
-
Injuries to the lips, gums, or tongue

Should I take my child to the ER or an emergency pediatric dentist?
Most dental emergencies should be treated by a pediatric dentist, who has specialized training to care for children’s developing teeth and mouths. However, if your child has uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing, severe facial trauma, or a suspected broken jaw, visit the nearest emergency room immediately before scheduling follow-up dental care.
What steps can I take to avoid dental emergencies?
While accidents can’t always be prevented, you can reduce your child’s risk of needing an emergency dental visit by maintaining regular dental checkups, brushing and flossing daily, wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing hard objects like ice or popcorn kernels, and addressing small dental problems before they become emergencies.
Is emergency dentistry affordable?
Emergency dental treatment is often less expensive than waiting until a small problem becomes a more serious one. We accept many dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits whenever possible. Families without insurance can save big with our in-house membership plan, which includes one emergency exam per year along with additional preventive care and discounts on treatment.
