Children of any age can experience a dental emergency. Receiving urgent dental care as soon as possible is the best way to relieve any discomfort and preserve their oral health. In some cases, it might even mean the difference between keeping or losing a tooth. Drs. Dr. Yvonne Felli or Dr. Ajikwaga Felli offer emergency dental services to treat a variety of urgent needs, including:

• Severe tooth pain
• Loose teeth
• Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
• Infected or swollen gums
• Knocked-out teeth
• Lip or tongue bites
• Painful mouth sores

Treatment for emergency dental problems will vary for each child. During your child's visit, our pediatric dentists will gently examine the area and may take an x-ray to check for internal damage. Once we understand the extent of your child's emergency needs, we will review the treatment options with you. At our Allen, TX pediatric dental practice, our primary goal is to alleviate any tooth pain and identify oral injuries. We will do everything we can to improve the function, aesthetics, and health of your child's smile as quickly as we can. In some cases, follow-up appointments may be needed to fully address dental concerns.

What is done during an emergency dental visit?
When you have your child see our emergency dentist in Allen, TX, we will quickly evaluate the area in question. This may involve taking x-rays or having an extensive exam. After the issue has been detected, we will start a treatment plan.

Is a bad toothache actually an emergency?
You will likely know how long your child’s toothache has lasted and the type of pain it has caused. It is always better to schedule an appointment to have it looked at, because a severe toothache can lead to additional issues for your child’s oral health.

What steps do I need to take if my child knocked out a permanent tooth?
First, you should retrieve the tooth by holding it at the top (instead of the root). It should then be rinsed off effectively while being sure not to touch it too much. Attempt to put the tooth back into your child’s respective tooth socket, then hold it with gauze or a clean cloth. If you cannot reinsert the tooth into the socket, place it in a small container with milk. Every moment matters when a tooth is knocked out, so please get in touch with Cuddly Smiles as soon as possible after completing these steps.
