Pediatric Dental Emergencies

PEDIATRIC DENTAL EMERGENCIES FULLERTON,CA

If your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms or conditions, please give us a call immediately to determine how serious the emergency is and schedule treatment. If they need urgent after-hour treatment, please call our emergency number.
BITTEN LIP OR TONGUE
If the bite is severe enough to cause bleeding, gently clean it with water and press a cold, wet washcloth against the area to reduce swelling.
OBJECT CAUGHT IN TEETH
Try to use dental floss to gently remove the object – never use anything metal, plastic, or sharp to try to remove something caught between the teeth. If you are unsuccessful in removing the object with dental floss, please contact our office.
 
 
BROKEN, CHIPPED, OR FRACTURED TOOTH
First, have your child rinse their mouth with warm water and press a cold, wet washcloth against the injured tooth to reduce swelling. Gather as many pieces of the fractured tooth as you can and call us immediately.
KNOCKED OUT (AVULSED) TOOTH
Rinse the knocked out tooth with water only, no soap, being careful not to touch the roots of the tooth. Place the tooth into a clean container with milk and either call us immediately or head to the hospital. If you act quickly, it’s possible to save your child’s tooth.
LOOSE TOOTH
Remove any extremely loose teeth to help you child avoid swallowing or inhaling it.
TOOTHACHE
Have your child rinse their mouth with warm water and then inspect their teeth to be sure that nothing is caught between them. If pain persists, press a cold washcloth on the are to ease the pain. Do not apply heat, aspirin, or topical pain reliever directly to the painful area as this can damage the gums. If necessary, children’s pain relievers can be taken orally.
BROKEN JAW
Press a cold washcloth on the jaw to reduce swelling and call us or head to the hospital immediately. In many cases, a broken jaw is the result of a blow to the head, and severe head blows can be dangerous or even life-threatening.
AVOIDING INJURY
Many simple changes around the house can help your child avoid dental emergencies. Prevent your child from chewing on ice, popcorn kernels, or hard foods. Follow safety precautions and always use car seats and require seatbelts for your children. If your child plays sports, come into our office and we can custom-fit a mouthguard for them to comfortably protect their teeth. Help your child maintain good dental hygiene by practicing regular brushing and flossing and scheduling regular visits to our office.

I'm so happy for choosing Dr. Majd as my orthodontist, she is so caring and professional. I had gone to see a few orthodontist and I didn't felt comfortable with any of them until I meet Dr. Majd I knew she was the one. My case was not easy at all but I couldn't be more happy with the results. I really recommend her and her lovely staff they have excellent skills and wonderful attitude. Thank you so much for my beautiful smile !!!

Dr. Majd is on of the best Orthodontists in the Fullerton area. My drive was 25 minutes and it was worth it. She is cheerful, friendly, and kind. I would especially choose her for a child's care if he or she is a bit timid about going to the dentist in general. I highly recommend her and this office.

I absolutely love this place! I have always hated going to the dentist because I don have a nice smile and could never afford braces. I thought my teeth were too far gone for Invisalign! I was wrong! The entire staff and doctors were so unbelievably nice and working hard and pushing my smile to be better by the time I get married in 2 months! You can tell the moment that you walk through the door that they care and you’ll be taken of

The children’s dentist is always super gentle and explains everything in detail to my son and myself. Always a clean office and very professional when it comes to appointment making. My son is no longer scared of the dentist and loves the prize he gets every time he is done which is usually a balloon and a small toy. Thanks guys keep up the great work.
P.s. the dentist assistants are always super sweet and helpful with my son as well

This was the second Orthodontics office that I visited and when I first came I knew it would be the one I'd choose to fix my not so great teeth (at the time). This really is a "Family" Orthodontics environment. The team is so nice and welcoming. Dr. Majd is just spectacular and I'm so glad I got to have her as my Orthodontist. She really cares about the results of your teeth and wants to make sure you're 100% satisfied. I love her for that! I'm almost at the tail end of my treatment and it went by quicker than expected thanks to Dr. Majd's instruction and her team's help. I live about 45 miles from here and I wouldn't change my place of treatment for anything. The commute is WORTH it. Thank you Dr. Majd and family for everything :)
