If your child experiences a dental emergency, the best thing you can do is contact us immediately. We can advise you on first aid actions to take and whether or not your child needs immediate treatment to protect his or her oral health.
When it comes to dental emergencies, every moment counts, especially for your child. At Tysons West Orthodontics & Children's Dentistry in Vienna, VA, we understand that a dental crisis can be both alarming and painful for young patients. That’s why we are dedicated to providing exceptional dental emergency care that prioritizes your child’s comfort and health. If your child experiences a dental emergency, contact our friendly team immediately. Our pediatric dentistry experts are here to guide you through essential first aid measures and determine whether your child needs prompt treatment to protect their oral health.
1. Chipped Teeth:
A chipped tooth can occur during play or sports. If your child chips a tooth, try to locate the chipped fragment and bring it with you to our office. In the meantime, applying a cold compress can help reduce pain. Make sure to contact us as soon as possible for expert chipped teeth first aid and treatment options.
2. Dislodged Teeth:
If a tooth gets moved or loosened but is not completely knocked out, avoid attempting to push it back into place. Instead, schedule an appointment with us right away. Our team specializes in dental care for children and is experienced in dislodged tooth treatment, ensuring your child receives the best care for their recovery.
3. Knocked Out Teeth:
One of the more alarming dental emergencies is a knocked-out tooth. If this happens, aim to bring your child and the tooth to our office within 30 minutes of the incident. Handle the tooth only by the enamel—never the root. If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it without soap and place it in cold milk or saliva until you arrive at our practice. Prompt knocked out tooth treatment can significantly increase the chances of successful repositioning. Avoid washing the tooth with soap, as it may cause further damage.
4. Toothaches:
When your child complains of a toothache, it can indicate a variety of issues ranging from decay to dental trauma. Rinse your child’s mouth to inspect for anything lodged between the teeth. A cold compress can offer immediate pain relief. For further toothache relief for kids, over-the-counter children’s pain relievers may be administered. Always reach out to our office following the incident for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.
5. Orthodontic Emergencies:
If your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners, dental emergencies can arise. This may include broken braces, loose wires, or discomfort from orthodontic appliances. Our orthodontic emergency services are tailored to address these urgent situations swiftly so that your child can continue their journey toward a beautiful, healthy smile without interruption.
As a family-friendly dentist in Vienna, we strive to make every visit comfortable and reassuring for both children and parents. Our practice is run by a father-daughter team—Dr. Ibrahim Y. Alhussain and Dr. Reem I. Alhussain—who share a passion for providing compassionate, comprehensive dental care in a welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Ibrahim brings 30 years of orthodontic expertise, while Dr. Reem focuses on providing a positive dental experience for young patients, ensuring they feel safe and secure during their treatments.
Additionally, we value our community and frequently participate in local events to promote oral health education among families in Northern Virginia. Our commitment to patient comfort is evident in our use of advanced dental technology and techniques that enhance the accuracy of our diagnoses and the effectiveness of our treatments.
Emergencies don’t adhere to a timetable, which is why we offer flexible hours to accommodate urgent dental care for children. Our office is designed to be inviting for families, featuring a kid-friendly waiting area and treatment rooms that minimize anxiety. We emphasize the importance of preventive care to avoid dental emergencies in the first place, providing regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments.
For first-time visitors, we offer a $150 New Patient Special for exams, cleanings, and X-rays, which makes it easier for families in Vienna and the surrounding areas to seek dental care for their children. Don’t hesitate to ask us about our complimentary orthodontic consultations, designed to assess any orthodontic needs your child may have.

Below are the most common dental emergencies we’ve encountered along with our recommendations on what to do next:
Chipped teeth: Try to locate the chipped fragment and bring it with the child to our office. Use a cold compress to reduce pain.
Dislodged teeth: If a tooth was moved or loosened but not knocked out, don’t try to move it back into place. Bring the child to our office as quickly as you can.
Knocked out teeth: If you can bring your child and the tooth to our office within 30 minutes of the injury, there is a chance we can reposition the tooth in its socket. Only touch the tooth by the enamel, not the root. Gently rinse it (if it’s dirty) and store it in cold milk or saliva. Do not wash off the tooth with soap. See us as soon as possible or head for the nearest emergency room.
Toothache: Rinse the child’s mouth and inspect it to make sure nothing is caught between the teeth. Use a cold compress to relieve pain. A children’s pain reliever may be taken orally. Of course, contact our office as soon as you can.
