A Dental Practice Designed for Children

Here at Smilez Pediatric Dental Group, we’re constantly going above and beyond to make your child’s visit to the dentist as enjoyable as possible. Between our kid-friendly children’s dental facility, our awesome staff members and our high-quality care – both kids and parents alike will love what we do here at Smilez.

In the case of a pediatric dental emergency, you may consider the following:

Toothache or Pain:
- Rinse the child’s mouth with warm water.
- Use dental floss to gently remove any trapped debris.
- Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it may cause irritation.
- Use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek to reduce swelling.
Knocked-Out Tooth:
- Handle the tooth by the crown (top) and avoid touching the root.
- Rinse the tooth gently with milk or saline solution, but do not scrub it.
- Try to reinsert the tooth into the socket if possible, or keep it in milk or saliva until you can reach a dentist.
Broken or Chipped Tooth:
- Rinse the mouth with warm water.
- If there’s bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth.
- Save any broken pieces if possible.
- Contact a dentist as soon as possible.
Object Stuck in Teeth:
- Gently try to remove the object with dental floss, avoiding the use of sharp or pointed objects.
- If unsuccessful, consult a dentist for professional assistance.
Bleeding Gums:
- Use a clean cloth or gauze to apply gentle pressure to the bleeding area.
- Rinse the mouth with a mild saltwater solution.
- Avoid aspirin, which can increase bleeding.

Remember, these are general suggestions, and it’s crucial to seek professional dental care promptly. Contact Smilez Pediatric for guidance and schedule an emergency appointment if necessary. If you’re unsure or if the situation is severe, consider seeking immediate medical attention immediately.
