Swollen Jaw

Swelling is often a sign of infection, so if your child’s jaw is swollen and there is no explanation for it, it may be time to call your emergency dentist. This could be a sign of an infection, a broken jaw or other bone, or more.

Knock Out an Adult Tooth

Many kids lose their baby teeth by accidentally knocking them out while playing. However, if your child accidentally knocks out an adult tooth, you’ll need to call an emergency dentist right away. You’ll want to keep the tooth and rinse out your child’s mouth. Oftentimes, the tooth can be saved with proper and prompt dental care.

Constant Jaw Pain

Jaw pain can be a bad sign, indeed, and there are many underlying causes that are best left to your dentist to evaluate. These include a jaw disease, grinding of teeth, jaw clenching, or other sign of an abnormal condition that should be checked out right away.

Cracked or Chipped Tooth

A cracked or chipped tooth may seem minor, but it is treated as a dental emergency because the crack can worsen quite quickly and affect the tooth’s root, which then threatens the health of the tooth. Be wary of cracks that run vertically or diagonally, and call to have it checked out right away.
