Children’s Dental Emergencies

If your child bit their lip or tongue hard enough to cause bleeding, carefully wipe the injury with warm water and apply a cold compress firmly to the region to lessen or prevent swelling. If bleeding is present, gently press the area for ten minutes or until the flow stops.

• Use dental floss to get anything lodged between your child’s teeth out.
• Never attempt to free the trapped object with a metal, plastic, or sharp tool. Give us a call right away if dental floss is unable to remove the thing.

• To lessen or prevent swelling in your kid’s face, place an ice pack on the afflicted area and have your child rinse their mouth with warm saltwater.
• Find and save the broken piece of the tooth if you can.
• Right away, visit the dentist.

• Use lukewarm saltwater to rinse your child’s mouth. This helps to relieve pain and tenderness.
• To reduce swelling and uncomfortable twinges, apply a cold compress.
• Floss their teeth and check for any residual food residue.
• Do not feed your child aspirin or apply aspirin to the afflicted tooth or gums. This can only lead to more complications.
• Most importantly, schedule an appointment with your dentist.

• Give your youngster a warm saltwater mouth rinse. (Eight ounces of water with half a teaspoon of salt)
• To minimise swelling, apply a cold compress.
• Find and hold the tooth in place. Do not touch the root; instead, grasp it by the crown.
• If the tooth is unclean, gently wash it for 10 seconds with lukewarm water; otherwise, let it alone.
• Reinsert a permanent tooth by gently biting down on a fresh piece of fabric.
• If it’s a baby tooth, don’t try to put it back in because doing so could harm the permanent tooth that is growing underneath.
• Put the tooth in milk, salt water, or saliva to soak it.
• Within 30 minutes following the injury, visit the dentist.
