Tooth Pain Relief in Overland Park

Relieving Pediatric Tooth Pain

If you’ve ever had a toothache, you know all too well how painful and disruptive a tooth ache can be. Tooth pain can hinder daily activities and make concentrating virtually impossible. It can also have a direct effect on sleep patterns, appetite, overall mood and ability to focus.

Toothaches tend to be more difficult for kids, especially if they can’t adequately identify or communicate exactly what’s going on. Here are a few things to keep an eye out for if your child complains about tooth pain, along with some warning signs that mean you should call your pediatric dentist.

What Are the Signs of a Toothache in Children?

Sometimes when we have a toothache, it’s hard to identify what’s causing the pain, especially in younger children who may not always have the vocabulary to tell us what’s wrong. Here are some signs to look out for:

• Pain in the teeth or mouth
• Sensitivity to hot or cold food and drink
• Facial swelling
• Drooling
• A lump or abscess at the gumline
• General irritability, especially in younger children
