Uh-oh! Dental emergencies can strike at the most unexpected times, but don’t worry—Carousel Pediatric Dentistry is here to help! As your child's emergency dentist in Apple Valley, MN, we’re always ready to jump into action when your kid's smile needs immediate care. From sudden toothaches to accidental injuries, we provide fast, effective treatment to keep your little one’s teeth healthy and pain-free.

Here are some of the common emergency dental issues we treat:

1. Toothaches

A sudden toothache can leave your child feeling miserable and can be caused by anything from cavities to infections or even food stuck between their teeth. Whatever the reason for the discomfort, we’ll diagnose the problem quickly and provide relief to get your child back to feeling their best.

2. Chipped or Broken Teeth  

Active kids are bound to have an accident or two, whether it’s on the playground, on the ball field, or at home. If your child chips or breaks a tooth, we’re here to help restore it and prevent further damage. Our friendly dental team offers dental bonding and other restorative treatments to keep their smile looking good as new.

3. Knocked-Out Teeth

If your child knocks out an adult tooth, it’s important to act fast. We provide emergency reimplantation to try to save the tooth. For baby teeth, we'll offer treatment options to protect the surrounding teeth and gums and promote proper healing.

4. Gum Injuries

Gum injuries from falls or accidents can be painful and require immediate attention. We’re equipped to treat cuts, scrapes, and other injuries to the gums to help prevent infection and promote healing.
