Is Pediatric Emergency Care right for you? Signs, symptoms & candidacy.
Recognizing the signs early makes treatment simpler. Here’s what we look for — and the surest way to know is a quick exam with a Boca dentist.
When Your Child Needs Emergency Dental Care
- A knocked-out permanent or baby tooth
- A chipped or broken tooth — especially with pain, swelling, or a large fragment
- A toothache that may signal a cavity, abscess, or erupting tooth
- Swelling of the face or jaw (possible dental abscess)
- An object caught between the teeth that won't dislodge
- A soft-tissue injury to the lip, tongue, or cheek
What to Do If Your Child Knocks Out a Permanent Tooth
Handle by the Crown
Pick the tooth up by the crown (white part) — never touch the root.
Rinse Gently If Dirty
Rinse with clean water if needed — do not scrub or remove attached tissue.
Reinsert or Store
If possible, place it back in the socket and hold with gentle pressure; otherwise store it in milk, saliva, or saline — never tap water.
Call Boca and Come In Now
Reimplantation has the best chance within 30–60 minutes — call immediately and come straight in.
