Children’s Dental Emergencies Warner
Dental emergencies are common among children, especially for active kids who can injure themselves during play.
Having a basic knowledge of how to handle a child’s dental emergency can help your child prevent tooth loss and other possible dental issues.
In case of dental injury, your dentist Warner can provide useful information to help manage your child’s emergency.
Toothaches
- Rinse mouth with warm water or slightly salty water
- Floss the teeth to remove any food trapped between them
- Apply a cold compress to the cheeks around the affected area
- It’s okay to give your child an over-the-counter pain medication if needed. However, avoid giving them aspirin or applying medication directly to the tooth or gum area
Broken Tooth
- If the piece of tooth is still intact, store it in milk or saliva (the patient’s preferably)
- Seal it in a plastic bag or wrap
- See your dentist as soon as possible
Knocked-out Tooth
- Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root
- Rinse the tooth in saline solution or milk.
- See your dentist as soon as possible.
Broken Braces
- You can try to use a pencil eraser to move the wire into a better position
- If that doesn’t work place some gum, gauze or cotton over the end of the wire
- Go to the nearest dental clinic as soon as possible
