Emergency Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics at ABC Kids

Dental Group in Pacoima

Emergencies are never planned, especially regarding your child's dental health. At ABC Kids Dental Group in Pacoima, we understand the urgency and concern that can arise when your child experiences a dental emergency or orthodontic issue. That's why we're dedicated to providing specialized emergency care to ensure your child receives the immediate attention they need.

What Constitutes a Dental Emergency for Children?

A dental emergency for children can include various situations, such as:

• Toothaches: Severe persistent toothaches accompanied by swelling or fever may indicate an infection or other serious issues.
• Broken or Chipped Teeth: Whether due to a fall, sports injury, or accident, broken or chipped teeth require prompt evaluation to prevent further damage or infection.
• Knocked-Out Teeth: If a permanent tooth is knocked out, immediate care can sometimes save the tooth. Rinse the tooth gently (without scrubbing), place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk and seek emergency dental care immediately.
• Orthodontic Emergencies: Issues like broken braces, wires poking, or discomfort from orthodontic appliances can also require urgent attention to avoid pain and ensure the treatment progresses smoothly.
