Dental Emergency in Fairfax, VA for Children

Dental emergencies can happen at any time. Even when your child has routine and preventative dental care at Pumpkin Pediatric Dentistry, it is not always possible to prevent dental emergencies. Many times, the key to saving a tooth depends on what action you take immediately.

Reliable Dental Emergency Services

At Pumpkin Pediatric Dentistry, our pediatric dentist in Fairfax, VA provides dental emergency care for different scenarios. Our immediate goals when treating such an emergency include:
  • Preventing or treating infection
  • Saving teeth that are at risk of being lost
  • Restoring function

Types of Pediatric Dental Emergencies

Some of the common pediatric dental emergencies that can arise include:

  • Knocked out tooth
  • Swelling of face
  • Severe toothache
  • Abscess
  • Missing or loose dental restorations
  • Chipped or broken teeth

If your child has a dental emergency, we suggest calling us immediately. Dr. Jazmin Floyd may require you to send a photo of the injury or infection to evaluate the situation.

Some of the common pediatric dental emergencies that we come across include:

Chipped, Fractured or Broken Tooth

When your child has a chipped tooth or a piece has broken off a tooth, rinse your child’s mouth with warm water before applying cold compresses. Locate and secure the fragment before calling us.

Knocked-Out Tooth

When your kid’s tooth has been knocked out, we suggest finding the tooth and rinsing it with water. Make sure that nothing except the crown is touched. We suggest placing the knocked-out tooth in milk before calling us.

Severe Toothache

A severe toothache is also a dental emergency. Our pediatric dentist suggests rinsing your child’s mouth using warm water and inspecting the teeth to ensure there is nothing caught between the teeth. If there is persistent pain, apply cold compresses. Make sure to fix an appointment to provide faster relief to your child.

Loose Tooth

A loose tooth is also a dental emergency. Parents often take it lightly when a loose tooth is not accompanied by pain. If it is not removed in time, the tooth may get swallowed. Object getting caught in between teeth is also a common pediatric dental emergency.

How to Deal with a Dental Emergency?

Major dental emergencies are rare. Still, you should not take any dental emergency lightly. Even if you are not certain, you should immediately call us to fix an appointment. Your quick response may be able to help save your child’s tooth.
