What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?
Understanding what qualifies as a dental emergency can help you respond appropriately. Common pediatric dental emergencies include:
- Toothaches: Severe or persistent tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue that requires immediate attention.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Accidents can result in a tooth being completely dislodged. Quick action can sometimes save the tooth.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Trauma to the mouth can cause teeth to crack or break.
- Loose Teeth: For non-baby teeth, this can be a sign of injury or infection.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks or tongue.Â
