Emergency Dentist For Kids in Greensboro NC Area

What constitutes a dental emergency for children?

A dental emergency for children can include:

  • Acute toothache: Persistent and intense pain could indicate an infection, abscess, or other severe dental issue.
  • Knocked-out tooth: Immediate care is necessary to save the tooth and prevent damage to the permanent teeth.
  • Broken or chipped tooth: This can cause pain, sensitivity, and an increased risk of infection.
  • Injury to soft tissue: Cuts or lacerations to the gums, cheeks, lips, or tongue that cause significant bleeding.
  • Loose or displaced tooth: A tooth that has been loosened or moved out of alignment due to trauma.

How should I handle a tooth that has been knocked out?

If your child’s tooth is knocked out, it is essential to act quickly:

  • Retrieve the tooth: Handle the tooth by its crown (top part). Avoid handling it by the root.
  • Gentle Rinse: If the tooth is dirty, rinse it delicately with cool water. Do not try to remove anything from the tooth (debris, loose tissue, etc.)
  • Try to place it back into the socket: Attempt to place the tooth back into the socket. Have your child bite on a clean cloth or gauze to hold it in place.
  • Keep it saturated: If you are unable to insert the tooth back into its socket, you can place it in a container of saline solution, milk, or your child’s saliva.
  • Seek prompt dental care: Contact Dr. Isharani at Triad Pediatric Dentistry for urgent care.

What should I do if my child has a painful toothache?

If your child is experiencing a painful toothache:

  • Cleanse the mouth: Use warm water to clean the area.
  • Floss delicately: Gently extricate any loose food particles trapped between the teeth.
  • Cold compress application: Take a cold compress and press it to the outside of the cheek. This will help to provide some relief for pain and any existing swelling.
  • Avoid painkillers on the gums: It is important not to place any painkillers (e.g., Aspirin) directly on the gums, as this can cause tissue damage.
  • Contact the dentist: To diagnose and treat the issue, schedule an emergency appointment with Dr. Isharani at Triad Pediatric Dentistry.

How can I prevent dental emergencies?

While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk:

  • Continue to Get Regular Dental Exams: Frequent visits to Dr. Isharani can help recognize and address possible problems before they develop into emergencies.
  • Use protective gear: Ensure your child wears a mouthguard during sports and other physical activities.
  • Practice good oral hygiene: Encourage your child to brush and floss regularly to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
  • Avoid chewing hard objects: Discourage your child from chewing on ice, popcorn kernels, and other hard items that can cause damage.

Success Story

Triad Pediatric Dentistry
Rating : 5 5 Stars
Deirdre B.

We selected this practice based on a wonderful presentation given by Dr Sona at a moms’ group I’m a member of. She left such an impression that my husband agreed we’d give her a shot.

The staff was extremely kind and professional! With our daughters being only 12 months old, I was thoroughly impressed with her patience and loved the fact that the exam was conducted while they were in my lap as I sat knee to knee with Dr Sona as opposed to attempting to keep someone so little still in a standard examination chair.

We look forward to our next visit and with time, we know the girls will also!
