A dental emergency is any condition that is causing your child pain, discomfort, or oral bleeding. The most obvious emergencies include dental injuries like loose, knocked-out, cracked, or broken teeth.

But there are a lot of other things that count as emergencies, too, including serious toothaches, bleeding gums, pulled-out or lost fillings and crowns.

Even things that may seem minor, like a piece of food or debris that’s lodged between your child’s tooth and won’t come out, can be a dental emergency.
