Contact Amazing Smile Dentistry immediately at (702) 734-6252. For severe trauma or bleeding that won’t stop, head to the nearest emergency room, then follow up with our office. We reserve time in our schedule for pediatric dental emergencies.
Keep it positive! Avoid using scary words or sharing negative dental experiences. Read children’s books about dental visits, play “dentist” at home, and explain that the dentist helps keep teeth strong and healthy. Let us know any concerns so we can adapt accordingly.
