A fall off the monkey bars, a ball to the face, a toothache that wakes your child at 2 a.m. Dental emergencies rarely come at a convenient time, and in the moment it can be hard to know how serious things are.
For families who need an emergency pediatric dentist near Stratford, ABC Children’s Dentistry is about 5 minutes away in Voorhees. Dr. Jeffrey Singer has cared for South Jersey children since 2004. This page explains what counts as an emergency, what to do right away, and how to reach us, during office hours or after.
Call us if your child has:
If you’re not sure whether something is an emergency, call. We’d rather hear from you.
If it’s a permanent (adult) tooth, time matters. Pick it up by the top, not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly with water; don’t scrub it. If you can, gently put it back in the socket and have your child bite on a clean cloth. If not, keep it in a cup of milk. Then call us right away.
If it’s a baby tooth, don’t try to put it back in, since that can harm the adult tooth underneath. Call us so we can check your child.
Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water, hold a cold compress on the cheek to reduce swelling, and save any pieces you can find.
Rinse with warm water and gently floss to remove any trapped food. A cold compress on the cheek can help. Don’t put aspirin or other pain medication directly on the gums.
Press firmly with clean gauze or a cloth. If the bleeding doesn’t stop after 10 to 15 minutes of steady pressure, go to the emergency room.
