If your child has an abscessed tooth, they need to be seen as soon as possible. If you’re not sure what’s causing the tooth ache, we can help assess the risk just over the phone. Don’t hesitate to call us! We’ll answer your questions and fit you into the schedule if your child needs to be seen.

Apply ice to injured areas to help control swelling. If there is bleeding, apply firm but gentle pressure with a gauze or cloth. If bleeding does not stop after 15 minutes seek medical attention.

Learn what to expect when your child loses a tooth—minimal bleeding is normal if the tooth was ready to come out. If bleeding is significant, have your child bite down on clean gauze for 15 minutes. For sore gums, Tylenol and ice can ease discomfort.

Usually over-the-counter preparations bring relief until sores heal. Because some serious diseases can begin as sores, let us know if sores worsen and/or persist.
