Children's Dental Emergency in Toowoomba

Dental emergencies can range from various issues, such as lost teeth, severe toothaches, cracks, breaks, injuries to the mouth, or severe discomfort while chewing. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is best to get in touch with us right away for guidance and to schedule an emergency appointment.

Yes. While pain is a common indicator of dental issues, some emergencies are painless. For example, a cracked tooth, lost filling, or a loose tooth doesn't always cause pain but still requires immediate attention.

No, severe pain indicates an urgent issue such as an infection or extensive decay, especially if accompanied by fever, swelling, or an overall sense of discomfort. Contact our emergency dental service for children as soon as the incident occurs.

For temporary pain relief, you can give your child age-appropriate over-the-counter pain relief medication. Avoid aspirin as it can cause bleeding issues. Applying a cold compress can also help reduce swelling and discomfort. 

Stay calm, as kids can sense stress. Tell them the dentist is there to help and not to worry. Using simple stories about visiting the dentist can also make them feel more at ease.
