Pediatric Emergency Dentistry at Starbrite Dental

Children are active, and accidents can happen, leading to a variety of dental emergencies. Some of the most common situations we handle at Starbrite Dental include:



• Toothaches: Sudden or severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue such as decay, infection, or an abscess. It’s important to seek immediate care to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.
• Knocked-Out Tooth: If your child’s tooth is knocked out due to an injury, it’s crucial to act quickly. If it’s a permanent tooth, try to keep it moist and contact us immediately for emergency care.
• Chipped or Broken Tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain and may expose the inner layers of the tooth to infection. Prompt treatment can repair the damage and protect the tooth.
• Dental Abscess: An abscess is a painful infection that can occur at the root of a tooth or in the gum tissue. Urgent treatment is required to prevent the infection from spreading.
• Cut or Bitten Tongue, Lip, or Cheek: If your child has a deep cut or bite inside their mouth that won’t stop bleeding, it’s important to seek emergency care to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.
• Lost or Loose Fillings or Crowns: If a filling or crown comes loose or falls out, it can cause discomfort and leave the tooth vulnerable to further damage.
