Dentists in Chicago That Help With Kids’ Dental Emergencies
Kids can experience a variety of dental emergencies. A sudden severe toothache, a chipped or broken tooth while playing sports, or issues with a filling or crown that was placed in the past are all reasons to see a dentist right away. That said, you are always best off going to a dental office that is equipped to work with kids. Some dental practices do not have the proper equipment or team to work with kids effectively. A dental emergency is stressful enough as an adult, but for a kid, it can cause a lot of fear. You should always try to schedule same-day appointments with a kind and caring office that knows how to work with kids. It is extremely important that the team you work with is trained to help kids and has the appropriate dental equipment that is sized for them.
How Do I Know If My Child Is Having A Dental Emergency?
We get this question a lot. Many parents often wonder where the line is between a dental issue and a dental emergency. A quick rule of thumb is that if the dental issue is causing severe pain or makes it difficult for your child to eat or talk, you should see an emergency dentist. If your child has noticed some sensitivity when eating hot or cold foods, or their gums bleed a little bit after flossing, these are not dental emergencies, but should still be addressed. It can be helpful to move up your next dental visit if you don’t have one on the books for a few months. During that visit, you can discuss symptoms like sensitivity or signs of gum disease. Your dentist can then look for other signs, provide a diagnosis, and give advice on whether or not your child will need other treatments (e.g., fillings) or will need to use special fluoride toothpaste.
