Pediatric Emergencies In Lake Worth
When your child is facing a dental crisis, time is of the essence. Immediate attention can make all the difference. Get in touch with us immediately to consult our experts. We'll assess the urgency of the issue, offer immediate at-home care guidance, and schedule a swift appointment if necessary.
Why Should My Child Get Emergency Dental Care?
First off, immediate dental care can relieve your child's pain or discomfort. Issues like tooth pain, fractured teeth, and other oral issues can lead to severe discomfort disrupting their academics, extracurricular activities, and more. Getting professional help will alleviate their distress so they can get back to their regular schedule. You'll also prevent additional complications caused by leaving their condition untreated. Most importantly though, you'll find relief knowing your child's oral health is restored once more.

The Benefits of Immediate Emergency Dental Care
Alleviation of Pain & Discomfort
A fractured tooth, a dislodged crown, or a throbbing toothache can lead to immense discomfort. The only solution to alleviate this pain is through professional dental care. After receiving treatment at our practice, your child can return to their daily activities without enduring pain or further distress.
Avoid Further Complications
Oftentimes, delaying medical help for your child can make their condition worse. For instance, if they have a tooth infection, early detection and intervention could potentially save the tooth. However, prolonged delays may result in irreversible damage to the infected tooth which might require extraction and pose serious health risks like sepsis - an extreme response to severe infection that can be life-threatening.
Save Time & Money
The sooner you seek emergency care, the more cost-effective your child’s treatment will be. For example, mending a cavity with a filling costs significantly less than allowing the decay to get bigger causing the tooth to need a crown. By consulting with our dentist as soon as soon as you notice any issue in your child's oral health, both time and money will be saved.
Problem-Focused Exams
When issues arise, our team can perform problem-focused exams (also known as limited exams) to help address the issues. Limited exams allow us to focus on what’s hurting or injured so we can get your child out of pain fast.
Same-Day Appointments
During a dental emergency, everything can happen so fast. If you need to get help right away, give us a call to schedule a same day appointment for your child.
Digital Imaging
Better diagnostics means better results. With our state-of-the-art digital X-rays, we can quickly and accurately assess the dental emergency and create a treatment plan right away.
