Pediatric Emergencies In Henrico, va
When your child is experiencing a dental emergency, every moment matters. This may include dental pain, swelling, infection, or orofacial trauma. Our pediatric dental team is here to guide you through this emergency, and provide your child with the help they need in a timely manner. Call our team if you believe your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, and read on for more guidelines on how to recognize a dental emergency.
Why Should My Child Get Emergency Dental Care?
Firstly, getting emergency dental care can relieve your child's pain or discomfort. Toothaches, broken teeth, and other oral issues can lead to severe pain disrupting eating, school, extracurricular activities, and overall well-being. Receiving pediatric dental care from our office will alleviate their discomfort so that they can resume their normal routine. You'll also prevent additional complications caused by leaving their condition untreated. Most importantly though, you'll have peace of mind knowing your child's mouth is healthy again.

The Benefits of Immediate Emergency Dental Care
Relief from Pain & Discomfort
A fractured tooth, a dislodged crown, or a toothache can cause pain. The best way to alleviate this discomfort is to get prompt dental care. Dr. Shreya is trained in delivering emergency dental care that can benefit your child. After receiving treatment at our practice, they can return to their daily activities without experiencing the dental pain that was disrupting their routines.
Avoid More Complications
Delaying dental care for your child can make their condition worse. For example, if they have tooth pain, it may be possible to save their tooth with a root canal if it's treated promptly. But if you wait too long, conditions may worsen. This can lead to tooth loss or sepsis, a potentially life-threatening infection.
Save Time & Money
The sooner you seek emergency care, the more cost-effective your child's treatment will be. For example, repairing a broken tooth with a dental crown costs less than removing it and preserving the space with a space maintainer. Consult with our team as soon as you notice a problem, and we will be happy to help put together the best treatment plan for your child.
Cutting-Edge Imaging
Better diagnostics means better results. With our state-of-the-art intraoral scanner, we can capture a 360 view of your child’s mouth and jaw. This allows us to quickly and accurately assess the dental emergency and create a treatment plan right away.
