Your Kids Will
Love The Dentist!
When your child has a dental injury or sudden tooth pain, every minute matters. Quick action for a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, or facial swelling helps prevent lasting damage and eases discomfort. Knowing where to get fast, compassionate care protects your child’s smile and comfort.
ABC Children’s Dentistry in Voorhees, NJ, provides prompt pediatric dental emergency care for families throughout Cherry Hill and the surrounding areas. Dr. Jeffrey Singer, with over 20 years of experience in pediatric dentistry, understands the urgency of dental emergencies and works quickly to address your child’s needs. Our Disney-themed office with animatronic parrots and arcade games helps ease anxiety during stressful situations, and Dr. Singer’s goofy, engaging personality puts even the most nervous young patients at ease.
Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but certain situations demand prompt care to prevent permanent damage or infection. Understanding which problems need urgent treatment helps you respond appropriately when your child is in pain or distress.
Dental emergencies that require immediate attention include:
If your child loses a permanent tooth, time is critical. Gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing, place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk while seeking immediate care. Quick action within 30 minutes significantly improves the chances of saving the tooth.
Persistent, intense pain that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter pain relief may indicate an infection or abscess requiring urgent treatment.
A fractured tooth with sharp edges can cut the tongue or cheeks and may expose sensitive inner tooth structures.
Swelling in the face, gums, or jaw can signal a serious infection that needs immediate attention to prevent it from spreading.
Your child’s comfort and oral health are too important to wait. If you’re unsure whether a situation requires emergency care, contact our office for guidance.
Some dental issues can be managed with proper home care until a scheduled appointment. Minor chips without pain, small cuts to the lips or tongue that stop bleeding with gentle pressure, and mild sensitivity typically don’t require emergency treatment. However, if your child’s symptoms worsen or pain increases, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Unlike permanent teeth, knocked-out baby teeth should not be replanted. The American Dental Association explains that attempting to reinsert a baby tooth can damage the developing permanent tooth underneath. Instead, control any bleeding with clean gauze and contact our office to schedule an evaluation.
Even though baby teeth will eventually fall out naturally, early loss can affect spacing for permanent teeth. Dr. Singer will assess whether a space maintainer is needed to prevent future orthodontic issues. Our team provides clear guidance on caring for your child after a tooth injury to ensure proper healing.

For more involved emergency procedures, ABC Children’s Dentistry offers general anesthesia in a hospital environment with board-certified anesthesiologists. This approach ensures the highest safety standards for children who need extensive treatment or experience severe dental anxiety. Unlike in-office sedation, hospital-based anesthesia provides comprehensive monitoring and emergency resources if needed.
While accidents happen, many dental emergencies can be prevented with proper precautions and regular care. Routine dental exams and cleanings help identify potential problems before they become urgent issues. Dr. Singer also recommends protective measures for active children.
Custom-fitted mouthguards protect teeth during sports and physical activities. Teaching children not to chew on hard objects, such as ice or popcorn kernels, reduces the risk of cracked teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene prevents cavities that can lead to painful infections requiring emergency treatment.
