First, check with your physician regarding allergies to pain medications.
Then, rinse the irritated area with warm salt water and place a cold compress on your child's face if it is swollen.
You can give acetaminophen for pain, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the teeth or gums.
See your dentist immediately.
Take 12-16 inches (30-40cm) of dental floss and wrap it around your middle fingers, leaving about 2 inches (5cm) of floss free between them.
Using the thumbs and forefingers to guide the floss, gently insert it between the teeth and slide it back and forth in a sawing motion.

We recognize that every child is unique.
Our Sugarland Pediatric Dental office was developed with that in mind.
The purpose of the first dental visit is to establish a positive relationship with your child and to evaluate your child's dental health while laying the groundwork for a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth.
Ideally, the first dental visit takes place when your child gets eight teeth, around the age of one.
At this appointment, the pediatric dentist and the dental staff get to know your child, thoroughly explain all of the procedures, and answer any questions you or your child may have.

Dental x-rays, known as radiographs, are essential diagnostic tools for the prevention of serious dental diseases and complications.
They provide the dentist with valuable information not available through a regular dental exam.
Identifying such problems early saves you time, money, and unnecessary pain.
Patients often ask if dental x-rays are safe.
While x-rays do use low-level radiation to capture images, the amount of radiation exposure a patient receives from a full mouth series of dental x-rays is equal to what a person normally receives in a single day from natural sources present in our everyday lives.

Nitrous Oxide, or better known as laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation for children who visit the pediatric dentist and may be overly nervous or anxious about their scheduled treatments.
Nitrous Oxide helps to ease patient's fears so as to help them relax during their visit, and to receive dental treatment in a comfortable and safe manner.
Typically delivered through a mask over the nose, nitrous oxide is mixed directly with oxygen and delivered as the patient breathes in and out regularly.
