Pediatric emergency dentistry takes into account the emotional and psychological well-being of young patients?
If left untreated, dental emergencies can lead to more serious issues. For example, a chipped or cracked tooth can result in infections or complications if it is not addressed right away.
Emergency dentistry offers relief for patients in pain following a dental emergency. Dr. Thompson will get to the source of the pain and deal with it right away.
We know that dental emergencies don’t always happen during office hours. That’s why Dr. Thompson provides same-day care so patients can get care as soon as possible.
When you make it to our practice, the team will usher you into Dr. Thompson office where she’ll assess the severity of your child’s dental emergency. She’ll take into account your child’s symptoms, medical history, and other relevant information. Dr. Thompson will also take steps to stop the bleeding and eliminate severe pain.
Next, Dr. Thompson will evaluate your child’s dental condition by conducting a series of tests and taking X-rays if necessary. If your child continues to experience severe pain, Dr. Thompson might inject a local anesthetic into the affected area to provide temporary relief.
After the diagnosis, Dr. Thompson will create a treatment plan, walk you through each step, and answer any questions you or your child may have. Dr. Thompson will then implement the treatment, which will vary depending on your child’s condition.
After treatment, Dr. Thompson will provide guidelines, tips, and recommendations for promoting recovery and maintaining your child’s oral health. She may also prescribe painkillers to manage the pain and discomfort after treatment.
The first thing to do when your child knocks out their tooth is to keep calm. A calm state of mind puts you in a better position to handle the situation. Next, you’ll want to clean your hands before picking up and placing the tooth in a jar of cold milk. Use a cotton gauze on the affected region to control the bleeding. Then, contact the team at Desert Kids Dental for prompt emergency dental care.
