Toothache
Has your child been suffering from a toothache? If so, book an appointment so we can diagnose and treat the issue without delay.
Toothaches in children can result from a whole host of factors – but some of the more common ones include:
- Decay
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Ulcers
- Loose or missing fillings
|
Fractured or knocked out adult teeth
We’re trained and experienced in helping children with adult teeth overcome dental trauma. This includes fractures, nerve exposures and teeth that have been displaced or knocked out.
In these cases, quick management is critical to get the best outcome. So give us a call as soon as you can after the incident. |
Facial swelling and abscesses
Facial swelling from a dental abscess can progress rapidly to other areas of the mouth and face. To prevent a swelling from spreading, your child will need immediate treatment.
You may also notice an abscess inside the mouth without swelling. While this isn’t as urgent, it still requires treatment. |
Bump or fall (even with no obvious tooth damage)
If your child has had a bump or fall near the mouth, it’s best to get in touch with our clinic – even if you haven’t noticed any immediate impact.
That’s because sometimes symptoms may only appear weeks or months after the trauma. Some common things to look out for over time include grey teeth and red spots (or ‘pimples’) on the gum under the lips. |
