kids' dental emergencies are overwhelming, but knowing when to look for immediate care can be the difference between saving and losing the tooth. This is when you call an emergency pediatric dentist immediately:

1. Uncontrolled bleeding: If your child's gums or mouth continue to bleed after you have applied firm pressure for 10–15 minutes, seek immediate dental treatment. Prolonged bleeding can be the indication of a severe injury.

2. Severe or Chronic Toothache: Severe pain that does not go away could indicate a more prominent issue, such as a tooth fracture or infection.

3. Knocked-Out Tooth: If a permanent tooth or a baby tooth is completely knocked out: For a permanent tooth, attempt to replace it in the socket (if it is clean) or place it in milk/saliva and see a dentist at once—time is of the essence in saving the tooth.

4. Swelling or Sign of Infection: Redness of the face, fever, bad taste in the mouth, or pimple-like inflammation of the gums can be signs of an infection in the teeth. Since infections develop very fast, urgent attention must be provided. 

5. Jaw Injury or Dislocation: If your child is having trouble opening and closing their mouth after an accident, they may have a jaw injury that requires them to be attended to right away.
