How We Treat Dental Emergencies
If your child faces their first dental emergency, you may worry about what to expect from their care. Well, our dental team is here to walk you both through our treatment process. Here are four things that’ll happen as part of your kid’s emergency visit:
- Same-Day Appointment – Right when you call us, we’ll book your child’s visit as soon as possible. We may even see them the very same day! Regardless, our team can provide first-aid tips (over the phone) to help you manage until the appointment.
- An Emergency Exam – Once your child arrives for their visit, we’ll give them a quick (but thorough) oral exam. This assessment lets us learn the source of their dental issue, which helps us know how to relieve their pain.
- Findings Review – Dr. Liu will share her findings with you and your child after the exam and suggest some procedures. She’ll then use your feedback to draft a custom treatment plan. Of course, we’ll outline the relevant cost and time involved before you commit to anything.
- Crucial Dental Care – With a treatment plan in hand, our team will quickly address your child’s oral issue. Their skill and experience equip them to handle nearly any dental dilemma a kid can have. Whether the solution is a filling, dental crown, or something else, we’ll get your little one’s smile back on track.

How to Prevent Pediatric Dental Emergencies
Though some dental emergencies aren’t avoidable, your child can take steps to reduce their risk of having one. All they need to do is practice the right oral habits, such as:
- Brush their teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Floss once daily to remove plaque and bacteria from hard-to-reach places.
- Attend regular dental checkups and teeth cleanings with their local dentist.
- Avoid poor oral habits, including nail-biting, ice-chewing, using teeth as tools, etc.
- Wear a mouthguard when they play sports or grind their teeth.
