- Dental Trauma: Injuries from sports or play can result in chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth. Dr. Christina Mueller provides rapid, gentle care, often repairing such damages in less than an hour with cosmetic bonding.
- Intense or Prolonged Toothaches: Toothaches lasting more than a day or causing severe pain need immediate evaluation. Whether due to minor injuries or reactions to food, persistent or intense toothaches require prompt attention.
- Pain or Extreme Dental Discomfort: Any pain or discomfort in your child’s mouth signals a problem. Immediate consultation with Dr. Mueller can lead to quick relief and treatment solutions.
- Knocked Out Tooth: Quick action is crucial for a knocked-out tooth. Safely storing the tooth and contacting Dr. Mueller immediately increases the chances of successful reinsertion and recovery.
- Tooth Abscesses: A swelling resembling a bubble or blister near the tooth may indicate an abscess, a serious condition that can lead to infection spread, fever, or facial swelling. Immediate care is necessary to address and prevent further complications.
