Common Questions
Emergency Dentist FAQs
Where do I go for emergency dentistry?
Depending on the emergency, you can see the pediatric dentist. In some cases the pediatric dentist may refer to an oral surgeon for treatment.
If in doubt, the nearest emergency room will help provide care.
What is the most common reason for an emergency dental visit?
Most dental emergencies in pediatric dentistry involve a chipped or broken tooth, a tooth ache, or trauma to the teeth or face.
What do I do if a tooth is knocked out?
If a permanent tooth is knocked out due to trauma then it is recommended to find the tooth, pick it up by the crown (not the root), and place it back into the socket. If you are unable to do this, then gently place the tooth in a small amount of milk and head to the nearest Pediatric Dentist, Oral Surgeon, or emergency room.
How do I prevent dental emergencies in the future?
The best way to prevent pediatric dental emergencies is through good dental hygiene, to avoid cavities and infection, and mitigating potential trauma to the teeth. The professionals at Front Row Pediatrics will be able to provide you with information on how to prevent problems from occurring, whether by providing you with the best cleaning tips and nutritional information or suggesting mouth guards to use for sports.
