The Benefits of Immediate Emergency Dental Care
Alleviation of Pain & Discomfort
A fractured tooth, a dislodged crown, or a throbbing toothache can lead to immense discomfort. The only solution to alleviate this pain is through professional dental care. After receiving treatment at our practice, your child can return to their daily activities without enduring pain or further distress.
Avoid Further Complications
Oftentimes, delaying medical help for your child can make their condition worse. For instance, if they have a tooth infection, early detection and intervention with a root canal or pulpotomy could potentially save the tooth. However, prolonged delays may result in irreversible damage to the infected tooth which might require extraction and pose serious health risks like sepsis - an extreme response to severe infection that can be life-threatening.
Save Time & Money
The quicker you seek emergency care, the more cost-effective your child’s treatment will be. For example; mending a broken tooth with a dental crown costs significantly less than removing it and replacing it with a dental implant. If you consult with our dentist as soon as you notice any issue in your child's oral health, both time and money will be saved.
Problem-Focused Exams
Our problem-focused exam, also known as a limited exam, is designed to address specific concerns such as pain, an injured tooth, or any area of discomfort in your child's mouth. Our team will carefully assess the affected area and recommend the appropriate treatment to relieve your child's discomfort and restore their oral health.

Emergency Exam
When you arrive at our practice, your child’s dentist will conduct a thorough examination of their oral condition. They will work to identify the root cause of the problem and determine the most suitable treatment for your child's specific needs.
Treating Your Child’s Condition
Every child and every dental emergency is unique. Some common emergency dental procedures include root canals, dental fillings, crowns, tooth extractions, and splints for dislodged or loose teeth. Rest assured that our dentist will ensure your child receives the care they need to get out of pain and restore their healthy smile.
