A Dental Emergency often leaves a child in pain and dealing discomfort. We provide care for a variety of different emergency situations. Some of the more common emergencies we handle on a daily basis for children include:
We do our very best to get your child in for an evaluation the same day. If an X-ray is needed, one will be taken. Dr. Chris will discuss the chief complaint with the parent and child, do a complete emergency examination and discuss findings. If treatment is needed, a treatment plan will be created and a discussion will take place about the best way to treat. If there is an infection, an antibiotic may be prescribed. Often for cases of trauma, no treatment is necessary with short and long term monitoring of the affected teeth.
If you have a dental emergency, call our office today and we can work to get you in to be seen as soon as possible.
