After-Hours Emergencies
Dental emergencies don’t always happen during office hours. If your child experiences a dental emergency after hours, please leave a detailed voicemail that includes:
- Your child’s name and age
- A brief description of the injury or symptoms
- The time the injury occurred
- A callback number where you can be reached
Dr. Young or a member of our team will review your message and provide guidance as appropriate.
Please note that Young Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is not an after-hours emergency clinic, and in-person appointments outside of normal office hours cannot be guaranteed.
If your child’s injury requires immediate medical attention, we will recommend the most appropriate emergency facility for care.
Seek Immediate Emergency Care If Your Child Has:
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Significant facial swelling
- Severe facial trauma
- A suspected broken jaw
- Any injury requiring immediate medical attention
These emergencies should be evaluated immediately at the nearest emergency department or pediatric hospital.
