Emergency Pediatric Dentistry In Windermere

If there’s one thing that’s certain in life, it’s that emergencies happen when you least expect them. And while dental care might not be the first emergency you think of when pondering the unexpected, as we know at Parkview Kids Dental & Orthodontics, when an oral need arises, it often requires an urgent response.

Whether your child is experiencing a jolt of oral pain or a tooth that’s been knocked out or broken, you need to have it assessed as soon as possible. This can help prevent further pain and damage to teeth. Here’s what you need to know about our emergency pediatric dental services in Windermere.

Dental emergencies range from broken teeth to a sudden and very painful toothache. They could be related to an infection, or to physical damage to one or more teeth. Sometimes, something becomes lodged between the teeth and can’t be removed. Or maybe your child has had a tooth knocked out completely.

Whatever the cause of the dental emergency, the sooner you see a dentist, the better.

When you arrive at the dentist’s office with a dental emergency, the first thing your dentist will do is assess the problem. They will ask you or your child what happened and examine the affected teeth or area of the mouth. Often, your dentist will take x-rays of the affected area, to make sure that they have a complete picture of the potential damage.

Once your dentist knows exactly what the problem is, they will start treating it immediately. This may include providing pain relief, working on the tooth/teeth, and stopping any blood flow in the area. Sometimes, your dentist will have to take temporary measures to prevent infection and limit pain. They may have to schedule a follow-up appointment to complete a permanent repair.

The first things you need to know is that not all dental practices offer emergency dentistry, and that time is always of the essence when you have tooth damage.

If your child needs an emergency dental appointment, call our office and our team will do our best to quickly arrange an appointment with our caring and calming pediatric dentist. Tooth damage can be scary, and our highly skilled and compassionate dentist is specially trained to make the process as easy and pain-free as possible.
