Your Kids Will
Love The Dentist!
A knocked-out tooth during a soccer game, a sudden toothache that wakes your child at midnight, or a chipped tooth from playground roughhousing can send any parent into worry mode. When dental emergencies happen, knowing where to turn for prompt, compassionate care makes all the difference in protecting your child’s smile and easing their discomfort. Quick action during a pediatric dental emergency can mean the difference between saving a tooth and facing more extensive treatment down the road.

With over 20 years of experience treating pediatric patients, Dr. Singer combines clinical expertise with a genuinely goofy personality that helps anxious kids feel safe during stressful situations. Our Disney-themed office features animatronic parrots and arcade games that create positive associations, turning what could be a frightening emergency visit into a more comfortable experience.
Recognizing when your child needs immediate dental attention helps ensure they receive timely care. Some situations require same-day treatment to prevent lasting damage to developing teeth and gums.
True dental emergencies that need immediate professional attention include:
Other situations, like lost dental fillings, loose teeth in younger children, or objects stuck between teeth, may not be true emergencies but still warrant prompt attention. Contact our office to determine the appropriate care timeline.
Your immediate response to a dental emergency can significantly impact the outcome. Stay calm, as children take emotional cues from their parents during stressful situations. Assess the situation quickly to determine if immediate care is needed or if the issue can wait until regular office hours. For bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze. For pain, rinse the mouth with warm water and use a cold compress on the outside of the face to reduce swelling.
According to the American Dental Association, baby teeth are important for proper speech development, nutrition, and guiding permanent teeth into position. Even though they eventually fall out, protecting them from premature loss helps ensure healthy oral development. Contact our office as soon as possible after any injury to receive guidance specific to your child’s situation.
When your child experiences a dental emergency, comfort and quick care matter. Pediatric dental emergency care near Stratford, NJ provides prompt, gentle treatment to relieve pain and help your child feel safe and supported when it matters most.
Emergency dental visits can be frightening for children already in pain or distress. Our practice is specifically designed to help young patients feel comfortable during urgent care situations. Dr. Singer’s playful approach and entertaining personality help distract nervous children and build trust quickly. The familiar Disney-themed environment provides visual comfort, while our experienced team knows how to communicate with kids at their developmental level.
We provide comprehensive emergency services, including treatment for tooth infections, trauma management, and pain relief. For procedures requiring sedation, we coordinate care in hospital settings with board-certified anesthesiologists to ensure the highest safety standards during pediatric sleep dentistry. This hospital-based approach provides access to full medical resources and monitoring unavailable in office settings.
While accidents happen, certain preventive measures reduce emergency risks. Ensure children wear properly fitted mouthguards during sports and active play. Schedule regular dental exams and cleanings every six months to catch problems before they become emergencies. These routine visits allow Dr. Singer to identify early signs of decay, monitor tooth development, and address minor issues before they escalate.
Teach children to avoid chewing hard objects, such as ice, popcorn kernels, or pen caps, as these can crack teeth. Establish consistent oral hygiene routines at home with twice-daily brushing and daily flossing. Limit sugary snacks and drinks that contribute to decay, and ensure children drink plenty of water throughout the day.
