Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my child knocks out a permanent tooth?
Find the tooth, hold it by the crown (never the root), and keep it moist in a glass of milk. Contact our Buffalo office immediately, as getting care within 30 minutes gives us the best chance to save it.
What qualifies as a pediatric dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, broken or knocked-out teeth, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or mouth trauma from sports or accidents all require immediate professional evaluation.
How can I relieve my child's toothache before our visit?
Gently rinse their mouth with warm salt water and floss to remove any trapped food. Apply a cold compress to the outer cheek for swelling, and call our office for further instructions.
What if a baby tooth gets knocked out instead of an adult tooth?
Never attempt to reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth, as this can damage the adult tooth developing beneath the gums. Call us right away so we can inspect the area for hidden damage.
Do you reserve time for same-day emergency visits in Buffalo?
Yes! We reserve specific time slots every day for urgent dental needs so your child can get off-the-clock pain relief and fast treatment when the unexpected happens.
Are emergency pediatric visits covered by local WNY insurance?
Emergency exams and urgent treatments are covered by most major Western New York plans. See our accepted insurances and call our office to verify your plan.
