Our experienced team is equipped to handle a variety of urgent dental needs, ensuring relief and peace of mind for the entire family.

What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, injury, or sudden oral health issues that require immediate attention. Some common dental emergencies include:

• Severe Toothaches: Persistent or throbbing pain that doesn’t go away could indicate an infection or decay.
• Chipped or Broken Teeth: Trauma to the teeth can lead to cracks or fractures that need urgent repair.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: Quick action can often save a tooth if addressed promptly.
• Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposed teeth can become sensitive or at risk of further damage.
• Bleeding or Swelling: Uncontrolled bleeding or swelling in the gums, cheeks, or mouth should be evaluated immediately.

Emergency Dentistry for Kids

When a child experiences a dental emergency, it can be a frightening experience for both the child and their parents. At Little Sunshine Dental, we specialize in pediatric dental care and are uniquely trained to handle emergencies involving children.

Common children’s dental emergencies include:

• Knocked-Out Baby Teeth: While baby teeth are temporary, they still play a vital role in dental development. We can assess whether immediate care is needed.
• Tooth Fractures: Chips or cracks from falls or sports injuries should be evaluated to prevent further damage.
• Severe Tooth Pain: Pain can be a sign of infection, decay, or an abscess, which requires urgent treatment.
• Oral Injuries: Cuts or lacerations inside the mouth, especially from sharp objects or falls, need attention to ensure proper healing.

Our team provides gentle, kid-friendly care, ensuring your child feels comforted and safe during treatment. We also offer sedation dentistry to help ease anxiety and reduce pain during your child’s visit.
