What is emergency dental care?
Dental emergencies can happen at the most unexpected (and most inconvenient!) times, during a soccer game, on the playground, or even while enjoying a favorite snack. At So-Hi Kids and Teens Dentistry, our emergency care is designed to help kids get relief fast while giving parents the support and clarity they need in the moment. With hours that extend past the school day, we make it easier to get care around class, work, and everything else on your family’s calendar.
Dr. Perez takes a calm and kid-focused approach, offering clear explanations, gentle techniques, and solutions tailored specifically to your child’s comfort. Because emergencies can feel scary for kids and stressful for parents, we make the process smooth and effective, turning big worries into manageable moments. We’re here to help meet your child’s dental needs right when your family needs us.

The benefits of emergency dental care
Prompt care keeps pain from worsening, prevents avoidable complications, and gives families the clarity they need during those uncertain moments. When kids get fast support, they feel safer, more comfortable, and more confident moving forward.

Relief when your child needs it most
Whether it’s a sudden toothache or a playground mishap, we prioritize same-day appointments for urgent situations to help your kiddo feel better fast and get back to being a kid.
Prevent small bumps from becoming major detours
Early attention protects growing teeth, prevents infections, and keeps treatment simple, saving your child from bigger bumps later in their smile journey.
Clear guidance every step of the way
Emergencies can feel big, but you’re never alone. Dr. Perez explains everything in real time, giving families the clarity they need to move forward with ease

Frequently asked questions
We understand that parents and kids can have questions. Here are the answers you may be looking for.
If your child is in pain or you have a concern about a specific area of their mouth, it’s important to have them seen urgently. Toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, knocked-out teeth, swelling, bleeding that won’t stop, or injuries to the mouth or jaw all warrant a same-day visit. When in doubt, call us—we’ll help you figure out what’s going on and how quickly your child should be seen.
Most dental issues are best treated by a dentist, not an ER. However, if your child has uncontrolled bleeding, trouble breathing, or a suspected broken jaw, seek immediate medical attention first.
Our team will guide you based on the situation, which may include cold compresses, over-the-counter pain relief, or handling a lost tooth carefully. We’ll provide step-by-step instructions over the phone.
