Emergency Services
The most important thing to do is to remain calm and contact your child's dentist in Middletown, NJ.
Start by finding the tooth. Hold it by the crown rather than the root and try to reinsert it in the socket. If damage, swelling, or pain make that impossible, put the tooth in a glass of milk and take your child and the glass immediately to the dentist.
In some cases, we can reset the tooth.
Is My Child's Dental Issue an Emergency?
Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe tooth pain
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Fractured teeth
- A tooth that is partly or completely knocked out of its socket
- Injury to the gums, tongue, or other soft tissue
- Oral abscess
- Losing a filling, crown, or other dental restoration
If you are unsure whether the situation is an emergency, reach out to our dental team. We can advise you on the next steps and help you make the right decision for your child's oral health.
