Providing the Care Your Family Needs During Emergencies
At American Pediatric Dental Group in South Florida, we understand the urgency and concern that come with pediatric dental emergencies. Our dedicated team is prepared to provide immediate, compassionate care to address your child’s dental emergencies promptly, helping to alleviate pain and prevent further complications.
Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies We Handle
Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our practice is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies for children, adolescents, and teens. We prioritize emergency cases, ensuring quick access to care when you need it most.
- Toothaches: Sudden or severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue. We provide swift diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain and address the cause.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth: Accidents happen, and when they affect your teeth, immediate care can be crucial in saving the tooth and preventing infection.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is of the essence in cases of avulsed (knocked-out) teeth. Proper emergency care can significantly increase the chances of reimplantation.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: We can quickly address lost fillings or crowns to restore function and comfort while preventing further damage to the tooth.
- Dental Abscesses: Infections in or around the tooth require prompt treatment to prevent the spread of infection and alleviate pain.
What to Do If Your Child Experiences a Dental Emergency
- Stay Calm: Keeping calm helps you think more clearly and take the necessary steps more effectively.
- Contact Us Immediately: Call our office as soon as possible. We offer guidance on immediate actions to take and arrange for your prompt care.
- Follow Temporary Measures: Until you can reach our office, certain actions can be taken to alleviate pain and prevent further damage, such as rinsing with warm water or applying a cold compress.
Preventing Pediatric Dental Emergencies
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, attending regular dental check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene can significantly reduce the risk of sudden dental issues. We also provide custom sports mouthguards to protect against dental injuries during physical activities.

Our practice is designed to accommodate dental emergencies, offering same-day appointments when available, and we’re conveniently located in South Florida. Our team is skilled in emergency diagnostics and treatments, ensuring you receive the care needed to address the emergency while keeping comfort and safety in mind.
