Dr. Joi Shaw Morrison and our experienced team are dedicated to helping children feel safe and comfortable while addressing their dental emergency with precision and care.

When to Seek Emergency Pediatric Dental Care

It’s important to recognize signs of a dental emergency and seek immediate treatment. Common pediatric dental emergencies include:

• Severe Toothache – Persistent pain may indicate tooth decay, infection, or gum issues.

• Knocked-Out Tooth – If a baby tooth or permanent tooth is knocked out, seek immediate care to prevent complications.

• Broken, Chipped, or Fractured Teeth – Cracks or fractures in teeth can lead to sensitivity, pain, or infection if untreated.

• Dental Abscess or Infection – Swelling, pus, or fever may be signs of a serious oral infection that requires urgent dental care.

• Soft Tissue Injuries – Cuts, bites, or trauma to the gums, lips, or tongue can cause bleeding and discomfort.

• Lost or Loose Fillings/Crowns – If a restorative dental treatment comes loose, we can quickly repair it to prevent further damage.

What to Expect During an Emergency Pediatric Dental Visit

When your child experiences a dental emergency, our priority is to relieve pain and restore their smile as quickly as possible. During an emergency visit, we will:

• Evaluate the injury or pain source using gentle diagnostic techniques.

• Provide immediate pain relief and recommend treatment options tailored to your child’s needs.

• Perform emergency procedures such as tooth repair, extractions, fillings, or infection control to restore oral health.

• Offer guidance on home care and necessary follow-up appointments to ensure long-term recovery.
