What types of dental emergencies do you treat?

Erickson Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children, including addressing various dental emergencies. Some common dental emergencies that may be treated include dental trauma such as broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth. These situations can be particularly distressing for both children and their parents, and prompt attention is crucial to preserve the health of the child's dental structure. Additionally, situations involving severe pain due to cavities or infections are considered dental emergencies. The discomfort can significantly affect a child's well-being and requires immediate intervention to alleviate pain and treat the underlying issue, such as a root canal or extraction. Another type of emergency that may arise involves soft tissue injuries within the mouth, such as cuts or lacerations to the gums, cheeks, or lips. These injuries can result from falls, contact sports, or other accidents and may require careful evaluation and treatment to ensure proper healing and prevent further complications. Furthermore, orthodontic emergencies can arise, particularly for children who are undergoing orthodontic treatment. Issues such as broken brackets or wires can cause discomfort or hinder progress and should be addressed quickly to maintain the effectiveness of the treatment.
