When a dental emergency strikes, Kids Tooth Team Michigan is Lake Orion's first call. We offer same-day and after-hours emergency appointments for children throughout Lake Orion, Orion Township, Auburn Hills, Oxford, Clarkston, Independence Township, Rochester Hills, and the surrounding communities of northern Oakland County. Call us right away and our team will help you figure out the next steps immediately.
A dental emergency is any situation causing your child significant pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or risk of lasting harm to their teeth or mouth. Common examples include a knocked-out or broken tooth, a severe toothache, a dental abscess, a lost crown or filling, and deep cuts to the lips or gums. If your child is in pain and you are not sure whether it qualifies as an emergency, call our Lake Orion office. Our team will help you assess the situation over the phone and get your child seen as quickly as possible.
The sooner a dental emergency is treated, the better the outcome. A knocked-out permanent tooth has the best chance of being saved if reimplanted within an hour. An untreated abscess can spread. Getting your child to our Lake Orion office quickly gives us the best chance to protect their smile and prevent a more serious problem.
Hospital emergency rooms can manage pain but cannot treat dental injuries. Kids Tooth Team Michigan's board-certified pediatric dentists provide actual diagnosis and treatment for children's dental emergencies in a calm, kid-friendly environment designed specifically for young patients.
Emergencies do not follow business hours. Our Lake Orion office provides same-day availability and after-hours emergency support so families throughout northern Oakland County do not have to wait through a night or weekend with a child in pain. Call us as soon as it happens.
A dental emergency is frightening for children and stressful for parents. Our Lake Orion team has extensive experience helping scared kids feel calm and safe during urgent visits. We move efficiently, explain everything clearly, and keep your child as comfortable as possible throughout.

A knocked-out permanent tooth requires immediate action. Handle the tooth by the crown only, rinse gently with water without scrubbing the root, and attempt to reinsert it into the socket if your child is calm enough. If not, store it in milk or your child's saliva and call our Lake Orion office right away. Every minute matters. A knocked-out baby tooth does not need to be reinserted, but we still want to see your child the same day to evaluate the injury site and surrounding teeth.
Even a small chip deserves a same-day call to our Lake Orion office. Depending on the depth of the fracture, treatment could range from smoothing a rough edge to placing a crown or addressing nerve involvement. We will advise you on what to do before the visit and see your child as quickly as we can.
A toothache with throbbing pain, swelling, or fever is a sign of possible infection that needs prompt attention. Rinse your child's mouth with warm water, check for food or debris between the teeth, and call us. Do not place aspirin or pain medication directly on the gum tissue. Our Lake Orion team will assess the tooth and provide relief as quickly as possible.
An abscess is a bacterial infection that creates a painful pocket of pus near the root of a tooth or in the gum tissue. Signs include visible swelling, a bump on the gum, significant pain, or in more serious cases, facial swelling or fever. An abscess requires prompt professional treatment. Call our Lake Orion office immediately if you suspect your child has one.
A crown or filling that comes off should be addressed the same day whenever possible. Exposed tooth structure is vulnerable to sensitivity, fracture, and decay. If a crown comes loose, keep it safe and bring it to the appointment. Avoid chewing on that side until we can assess and address it.
Apply gentle pressure to minor mouth cuts with a clean cloth and monitor closely. If bleeding does not slow within a few minutes, the wound appears deep, or swelling is significant, call our Lake Orion office right away. We can clean the area, provide sutures when needed, and ensure your child is healing properly.

In most cases, call us first. Hospital ERs cannot provide dental treatment and will typically only offer pain medication and a referral. Kids Tooth Team Michigan can diagnose and treat pediatric dental emergencies directly. Go to the ER immediately if your child has lost consciousness, has a suspected jaw fracture, or has severe facial swelling affecting breathing, and contact us as well.
Pick it up by the crown and rinse it gently without scrubbing. Try to reinsert it into the socket if possible. If not, place it in milk or your child's saliva to keep it moist and call us immediately. Do not let it dry out. Every minute matters when it comes to saving a knocked-out permanent tooth.
A custom-fitted mouthguard is the single most effective way to protect your child's teeth during contact and collision sports. Studies show athletes are sixty times more likely to suffer dental trauma without one. Ask our Lake Orion team about a custom mouthguard at your child's next routine visit.
Yes. Kids Tooth Team Michigan accepts emergency appointments for new patients at our Lake Orion office. Call us right away and we will do everything we can to get your child seen as quickly as possible regardless of whether they have been a patient before.
A knocked-out baby tooth is typically not reinserted, as doing so can damage the permanent tooth developing beneath it. You should still call our Lake Orion office right away so we can assess the injury, check surrounding teeth and tissue, and advise on any follow-up care needed.
