Children’s Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can happen during play, sport, meals, or everyday accidents. Because children may feel frightened or distressed when this happens, prompt assessment can be important.

Common Children’s Dental Emergencies
These may include:
- toothache
- knocked-out teeth
- broken teeth
- soft tissue injuries
- broken orthodontic appliances
First Aid
