What to Do If Your Child Experiences a Dental Emergency
Stay Calm to Reassure Your Child
It’s natural to feel anxious when your child injures their mouth, but staying calm is crucial. Panicking can increase your child’s stress, so take a deep breath, assess the situation, and provide reassurance. A clear head will help you effectively manage the situation and comfort your child.
Managing Bleeding, Swelling, and Pain After a Dental Injury
If your child’s mouth is bleeding, use clean gauze, cotton balls, or paper towels to absorb the blood while applying gentle, firm pressure to control it. Oral injuries can bleed significantly, but pressure should help slow it within a few minutes. To reduce swelling and pain, consider giving your child over-the-counter medication like Tylenol or Motrin. Additionally, applying an ice pack to the cheek near the injury can numb the area and decrease swelling.
