At Langley Pediatric Dentists, we understand that dental emergencies can be stressful and scary, especially for kids. Our team is dedicated to providing prompt, compassionate, and effective care when your child needs it most.
Toothache: If your child is experiencing a persistent toothache, rinse their mouth with warm water and gently floss to remove any trapped food. Avoid placing aspirin or any other painkiller directly on the gums.
Knocked-Out Tooth: If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist by placing it in milk or a tooth preservation product. Bring your child and the tooth to our office immediately. For baby teeth, contact us to determine the best course of action.
Chipped or Broken Tooth: Rinse the mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any broken pieces of the tooth and bring them to our office as soon as possible.
Lost Filling or Crown: If a filling or crown is lost, cover the cavity with dental cement or sugarless gum to protect it until you can get to our office.
Bitten Tongue or Lip: Clean the area gently with water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If bleeding persists, seek immediate medical attention.
