Our emergency paediatric dentists provide warm care in a child-friendly setting.
At Norlane Dental Aesthetics and Implants, we understand that many children are scared to go to the dentist. Our goal is to make our young patients feel safe and relaxed during their visit.
If you have a feeling that your child is suffering from toothache or other dental emergencies, please contact your Norlane dentist to schedule treatment as soon as possible.
But how do you identify a dental emergency? What do you do to handle a dental emergency until your child gets to the dentist?

If you are unsure of what an exact dental emergency is, answer the following questions:
- Is the child bleeding through the mouth?
- Is the child in severe pain?
- Are there any avulsed teeth?
- Is there any swelling in the mouth?
- Is there any inflammation on the gums?
If your answer is YES to any of these questions, your child might be having a dental emergency, and he/she needs to see a paediatric dentist right away.

Dental Pain
Rinse your child’s mouth with lukewarm saltwater. This helps alleviate pain and relieve tenderness. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and painful twinges.
Clear the mouth of food debris. Do not give aspirin to your child. This can only cause additional complication. Most importantly, see your children’s dentist immediately.

Dislodged or knocked-out tooth
If your child’s tooth loosens because of trauma, call your Norlane dentist immediately. While waiting to go to your dentist, rinse your child’s mouth with lukewarm saltwater.
Do not try to return a temporary tooth to its socket.
