Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies We Treat
Emergencies can happen anytime, from the playground at Sheffield Park to a weekend sports tournament at Canal Park. Here are some of the most common issues we treat:
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is critical. If your child’s permanent tooth is knocked out, call us immediately. Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and bring it with you.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Minor chips might not seem urgent, but they can lead to infection or bite problems. We repair chips and cracks quickly using safe and durable materials.
- Severe Toothaches: A persistent toothache may be a sign of decay, trauma, or infection. Dr. Krachenfels uses gentle diagnostic tools to identify the issue quickly and offer immediate relief.
- Dental Abscesses or Infections: Swelling, fever, or pus around the tooth indicates a dental abscess. We offer urgent treatment to stop the infection and protect your child’s overall health.
