Saginaw Emergency Treatment | Saginaw Kids Dentistry

The Importance Of Prompt Care

Dr. Elias and Dr. Christina understand that dental emergencies are never convenient and don't happen on a set schedule. That's why we are here to provide same-day and after-hours care for your little ones. There are a few reasons why emergency care is so critical.

Why is emergency care so critical?

Relief From Pain & Discomfort

Dental emergencies like infected teeth or broken teeth can cause excruciating pain. Getting emergency dental care ensures your child can get immediate relief.

Prevent Future Complications

The sooner your child gets help, the more likely it is that they will be able to avoid further complications and oral health issues related to their emergency.

Have your child get back to routine

After treatment, you and your child can get back to your normal routine, and get peace of mind knowing their mouth is healthy.

A dental emergency is any condition that is causing your child pain, discomfort, or serious oral bleeding. This can include trauma (cracked, broken, or loose tooth), loose filling, or even a piece of food that's stuck between your child's teeth and won't come out.

If you are unsure whether your child is having an emergency, please contact Dr. Elias or Dr. Christina at (682) 285-1900.

Common Emergency Dentistry Procedures

Pulpotomies and Crowns

A pulpotomy may be necessary to treat large cavities that are approaching the nerve, and a crown is often used alongside this treatment to protect and restore the tooth.

Splinting

If your child’s permanent tooth is loose or if it has been knocked out due to an oral injury, it may be splinted to the surrounding teeth to hold it in place and allow it to heal.

Extractions

If your child has an infection, severe fracture, or pain, then an extraction may be the best option to treat your child’s emergency. However, this is a last resort option at Saginaw Kids Dentistry and we will only recommend this if it’s truly the best option for your child.
