Toothache

• Symptoms: Persistent pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold.
• Immediate Steps: Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water, check for impacted food and remove it gently, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and contact us for further evaluation and treatment.
• Professional Care: We will assess the cause of the toothache and provide appropriate treatment, which may include fillings, root canals, or other necessary procedures.

• Symptoms: A tooth is completely dislodged from its socket.
• Immediate Steps: Recover the tooth, handling it by the crown (not the root). Rinse the tooth gently with water. Place the tooth back in the socket if possible, or keep it in a container of milk. Visit our clinic immediately for reimplantation.
• Professional Care: Prompt action can often save the tooth. We will clean and reimplant the tooth, and provide follow-up care to ensure it heals properly.

• Symptoms: A visible crack or break in the tooth, pain, or sensitivity.
• Immediate Steps: Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling. Collect any broken tooth fragments and bring them to the clinic. Schedule an emergency appointment for assessment and treatment.
• Professional Care: We will repair the tooth using bonding, crowns, or other restorative techniques to restore its function and appearance.

• Symptoms: Missing filling or crown, pain, or sensitivity in the affected tooth.
• Immediate Steps: Keep the area clean and avoid eating on the affected side. Save the crown if possible and bring it to the clinic.
• Professional Care: We will replace the lost filling or crown to protect the tooth from further damage and restore its function.

• Symptoms: Cuts, tears, or punctures in the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums.
• Immediate Steps: Rinse the mouth with warm water and apply gentle pressure to stop bleeding. Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Professional Care: We will evaluate the injury and provide necessary treatment, including sutures or medications to promote healing and prevent infection.
