At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies can be scary—for both kids and parents. Whether your child chipped a tooth, has a severe toothache, or suffered a dental injury while playing, our team is here to help with compassionate, same-day emergency care in Montclair, NJ.
We create a calm, kid-friendly environment where children feel safe and supported. Our experienced pediatric dental team quickly diagnoses the problem and provides prompt treatment to relieve pain, prevent further damage, and restore your child’s smile.
In some emergency cases, children may feel anxious, uncooperative, or in pain—making treatment more difficult. That’s where pediatric sedation dentistry can help. It allows our team to perform urgent care procedures while your child stays calm, relaxed, and stress-free.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we tailor our sedation options based on your child’s age, comfort level, and the severity of the situation. Our goal is to ease discomfort and safely complete treatment with as little trauma as possible.

Emergency visits with sedation can quickly relieve discomfort from injuries or infections. Your child doesn’t have to wait in pain—we address the source of the issue while helping them remain calm and comfortable.
Dental sedation allows for safe and effective treatment in cases like fractured teeth, broken fillings, or knocked-out teeth. Quick intervention paired with sedation can mean preserving your child’s natural tooth and oral health.
Early dental trauma can create fear that lasts into adulthood. Sedation during emergency treatment can help reduce psychological stress, ensuring your child’s long-term comfort and willingness to return for future dental visits.
As soon as you notice your child’s dental emergency, please give our office a call. We’ll discuss your problem with you, and schedule an appointment with your dentist ASAP. We can also give you some tips on how to deal with your emergency until it’s time for your little one’s appointment.
Once you come to our office, the dentist will take a look at your child’s mouth. They will get to the bottom of your issue, and determine the right treatment for your child’s condition.
Every child is different, and so is every dental emergency. A few common emergency dental treatments include root canals, dental fillings, dental crowns, tooth extractions, and splints for loose or knocked-out teeth. Your child’s dentist will make sure that they get the appropriate care for their condition.
Knocked-out baby teeth are not usually replaced, even if they’re lost prematurely. If it’s a baby tooth, your child will need to come into our office to have their mouth examined and cleaned to prevent infection, and to get a “space maintainer.” This prosthetic will maintain the proper gap between their teeth, preventing the adjacent teeth from shifting toward the now-empty socket.
For an adult tooth, though, you need to get help immediately. Recover the tooth, rinse it, and put it in a container of cold milk to keep it moist. Then, come to our office immediately. Don't spend too much time treating pain or bleeding. Your child’s tooth must be re-attached within 1-2 hours for it to be saved, so time is of the essence. We can treat your child’s pain when they get to our office.
Collect the filling, crown, or other piece of dental work and place it in a plastic baggie. Then, call us for an appointment, and make sure to bring your child’s dental work in with you. It may be possible to reattach a crown instead of completely replacing it.
A severe toothache could indicate that your child has a deep cavity or an infected tooth. You should schedule a consultation at our office right away, as these are both serious dental emergencies that will only get worse without proper treatment.
First, treat their discomfort and bleeding. Then, contact us for an appointment. Even minor tooth damage can cause hairline fractures and these fractures could lead to infections and other complications. After consulting with your child’s dentist, they can determine the best treatment for restoring the damaged tooth, and ensure your child’s smile remains healthy and strong.
If a baby tooth has come loose and it’s not due to an oral injury, you don’t have to do anything. Baby teeth are meant to fall out eventually, so this is natural.
However, if one of their teeth becomes loose and is bleeding after an oral injury, it may not be ready to fall out yet. The best thing to do is to get a consultation with your child’s dentist to have their mouth examined, and determine whether the tooth can be saved or if it should be replaced with a space maintainer.
