We’re Ready to Help You

It happens. Kids get themselves into trouble sometimes. If and when they do, Kids Choice Dental is here to help soothe their pain and repair any tooth damage that may have occurred. From toothaches to more serious injuries, our capable dentists, staff and our state-of-the-art facilities are able to handle it all.

Toothaches

Toothaches are common, but unlike growing pains, usually indicate an issue with the tooth, including fractures, tooth decay or some type of tooth trauma. When this happens, clean the area using warm water, check for any impacted food and then apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If the painful area is swollen, red or otherwise irritated, then it is advised to contact Kids Choice Dental to make an appointment to have the tooth evaluated.

Knocked Out Tooth

If a child’s tooth has been knocked out, time is of the essence. If it’s a baby tooth, a dentist probably won’t attempt a re-implantation, but a permanent tooth can be salvaged if you reach one of our dentists in time. Re-implantations are usually most successful when they are performed within an hour of being knocked out. When handling an avulsed tooth, it is best to pick it up by the crown and avoid touching the root as much as possible. Be sure not to wipe the tooth off with fabric when you rinse it off as this could damage the root, and also it is best for the tooth to be kept moist until the dental procedure for the highest chance of success.

Dental Intrusion (Tooth Pushed Into Jawbone)

Sometimes, trauma can push a tooth into the jawbone. Depending on the nature and depth of the intrusion, your child’s dentist will either wait for the tooth to descend naturally or perform root canal therapy to preserve the structure of the tooth.

Broken Tooth (Crown Fracture)

The crown is the largest, most visible part of the tooth. In most cases, the crown is the part of the tooth that sustains trauma. Our dentists can readily assess the severity of the fracture using X-rays, but any change in tooth color (for example, pinkish or yellowish tinges inside the tooth) is an emergency warning sign. Minor crown fractures may require the application of dental sealant, whereas more severe crown fractures sometimes require pulp treatments.

Root Fracture

A root fracture is caused by direct trauma and isn’t noticeable to the naked eye. If a root fracture is suspected, dental X-rays need to be taken. Depending on the exact positioning of the tooth fracture and the child’s level of discomfort, the tooth can be monitored, treated or extracted as a worst-case scenario.
