How can I tell if my child has a dental emergency that needs immediate care?

If your child has a dental emergency in Corona, CA, there are a few telltale signs, including:

  • Favoring a Tooth: Continuously touching or tonguing a spot on the tooth can signify an advancing cavity or tooth infection in younger children.
  • Complaining of Pain or Discomfort: Older children will likely let you know if they have a toothache or an oral health issue. We consider pain a dental emergency.
  • Oral Injury: An oral injury, such as bleeding, a knocked-out tooth, or a loose tooth, is a dental emergency.

Issues that can sometimes be addressed at a later appointment include minor chips or cracks that don’t cause pain. If your child has a cracked tooth, it’s essential to keep the area clean to prevent infection before their dental appointment.

If you can’t determine whether their situation needs immediate care, contact our office for guidance.
