Emergency Pediatric Dentist in Casa Grande, AZ
A toothache that will not quit, a tooth knocked out on the playground, a sudden problem you cannot explain: dental emergencies are stressful for kids and parents alike. At Kid-1 Pediatric Dentistry in Casa Grande, Arizona, we offer prompt emergency appointments so your child can get relief when it is needed most.
When to call us right away
Call or text (520) 876-5431 if your child has a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth or any other urgent dental problem.
If your child has facial swelling, a fever, or trouble breathing or swallowing, go to the emergency room or call 911. If your child also hit their head, is dizzy or is very sleepy, go to the emergency room.
What happens at an emergency visit
Our pediatric dentists are trained to handle a wide range of dental emergencies. We put your child's comfort and well-being first, using gentle, effective treatment to ease pain and address the underlying problem. Depending on the situation, a telehealth appointment may be available.
First steps while you are on your way
This is the same guidance we share on our FAQ page, based on American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advice.
- Knocked-out permanent tooth: pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root. Rinse it gently in cool water without scrubbing or using soap. If you can, put it back in the socket and hold it there with clean gauze or a washcloth. If not, keep it in a clean container with cold milk (or your child's saliva if you have no milk), never in water, and bring your child and the tooth to us right away.
- Knocked-out baby tooth: do not put it back in, because that can harm the developing permanent tooth. Rinse your child's mouth, use gauze for bleeding and a cold compress for swelling, then call us.
- Toothache: if your child can rinse and spit, try warm salt water and gently floss out any trapped food. Use a cold compress on the outside of a swollen cheek. Ask your pediatrician or pharmacist which children's pain reliever and dose is right, and never put aspirin on the tooth or gums.
