Summer Fun and Mouth Injuries

Slight tooth pain or ache: If your child complains of bad tooth pain, please give us a call the next morning so we can determine if they need to be seen.
Cavity: Cavities are not dental emergencies. They can be treated at our Decatur, IL dentist office at the next available appointment opening.
Chipped tooth: If your child isn&rsquo;t experiencing any pain associated to the chipped tooth, just make sure they chew carefully so that they don&rsquo;t do further damage before they are able to be seen in our dentist office.
Teething: While teething pain can be a problem for both you and your child, it is not considered a dental emergency in Decatur, IL. A frozen teething ring can help alleviate your child&rsquo;s tooth pain.
