What Is Emergency Pediatric Dentistry?

Emergency pediatric dentistry focuses on urgent oral health issues that need immediate attention — like accidents, injuries, infections, or severe tooth pain. Kids are active, curious, and not always cautious, so dental emergencies are common. At our McKinney office, we provide same-day care whenever possible and walk parents through what to do until you can get here. Whether it’s a chipped tooth, facial swelling, or an avulsed (knocked-out) tooth, we’ll act quickly to relieve pain and protect your child’s smile. We’re here when you need us — because urgent dental situations can’t wait.

The Benefits of Emergency Dentistry

Improves Feeding for Babies & Parents

Releasing a tight frenulum can make nursing or bottle-feeding easier and more efficient — often improving latch, reducing reflux, and supporting better growth and comfort.

Prevents Long-Term Issues

Early treatment helps prevent future speech delays, dental crowding, breathing concerns, and jaw development problems related to oral restriction.

Fast, Gentle Procedure

Laser frenectomies at our McKinney office are safe, minimally invasive, and completed in under a minute. Healing is quick, and discomfort is minimal.

Call Us
What should I do if my child knocks out a permanent tooth?

Gently rinse the tooth (don’t scrub), and try placing it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and get to our McKinney office immediately. The sooner we see them, the better the chances of saving the tooth.

Can my child be sedated during an emergency visit?

Yes. We offer safe, pediatric sedation options — including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation — to help children feel calm and relaxed during emergency procedures.

How do I know if it’s an emergency or something minor?

If your child is in pain, has swelling, a fever, or suffered visible damage to a tooth, give us a call. We’ll walk you through symptoms and help determine if immediate care is needed.
