My child has a toothache

If your child has been experiencing tooth pain, we will video-chat with you right away. We will want to know the following information:
Your child’s age and any medical problems
When the pain started
Where the pain is
If anything makes the pain better or worse
If the pain is keeping your child up at night
If the pain is spontaneous
If the pain is constant
If there is any history of swelling
With that information, any pictures you provide, and our video-chat examination, we will be able to guide you on the best course of action, whether that is just palliative care at home, if pain medication or antibiotic is warranted (we will call in a prescription for you!) or if you need to go to a dentist. If you need to go to a dentist, we will help you find a close pediatric dentist who can see you soon.
