Emergency Dental Care
Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time and you can depend on Tooth Club For Kids for your child’s dental emergency care in Glendale, Arizona. Dr. McKay Garrett is a father himself and understands that your child deserves prompt and compassionate care. To ensure your child receives such quality care, call 602-843-1275 to see our pediatric dentist. After business hours visits are reserved for Tooth Club for Kids Club members. Meaning, the child must have already been to our clinics.
After-Hours On-Call Service for Club Members
If your child is a patient at Tooth Club for Kids and is experiencing a true dental emergency after-hours, call our emergency line at (623) 850-1477. We are available to handle emergency situations for our Tooth Club members 24/7. If your child appears to be suffering from injuries that extend beyond the mouth, call 911, or take your child to the nearest emergency room. We are here for patient pediatric dental emergencies in Glendale, and Phoenix, Arizona.
Toothaches
If your child has a toothache, clean the affected area with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Rinse the mouth vigorously with warm water and use dental floss in the surrounding areas. If your child needs a pain reliever, administer Tylenol or Motrin according to the package directions. Do not place aspirin on the tooth itself or on the gums. If your child’s face is swollen, apply cold compresses and contact our office. A swollen face could indicate a serious problem requiring immediate attention. You can count on Tooth Club For Kids for your pediatric dental emergencies in Phoenix, and Glendale, Arizona. After-hour appointments are reserved for Tooth Club members.
Trauma
Baby teeth are not reinserted into the gums as this can cause harm to the permanent teeth.
Many children receive facial and dental trauma from sports-related injuries and other accidents. If your child has sustained an injury, remain calm. If your child has knocked out a permanent tooth, prompt attention is necessary to maintain the life of the tooth. We may be able to treat the injury at our office, although less severe cases may be able to be treated at home until you can find time to come in. If your child is suffering from an injury that goes beyond the extent of the mouth or other oral structures, call 911 or take your child to your local emergency room.
If your child’s permanent tooth has been avulsed (knocked out), follow the steps below to attempt to reinsert it.
- Hold the tooth by the crown. Avoid touching the root.
- Rinse the tooth with salt water or milk. NOTE: Do not use water to rinse the tooth.
- If the root is intact, try to reinsert the tooth into the socket. If unable to do so, place the tooth in a glass of milk and take it and your child to the dentist immediately.
If your child has knocked out a baby tooth, take him or her to the dentist as soon as possible.
