What to do in a children's dental emergency
Accidents happen at the park, on the playground and during sports. Medi-Cal generally covers emergency dental care for pain and infection, and quick action makes a big difference. If your child has a dental emergency, call us right away at (916) 226-6767.
- Knocked-out permanent tooth: pick it up by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it and place it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk. See a dentist immediately.
- Knocked-out baby tooth: don't try to put it back. Press clean gauze on the area to stop bleeding and call us.
- Chipped or broken tooth: rinse with warm water, save any pieces and use a cold compress for swelling.
- Toothache or swelling: rinse with warm water and call us. A swollen face or a fever with tooth pain needs care the same day.
For a serious injury, bleeding that won't stop or trouble breathing, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Does Medi-Cal cover emergency dental care for kids?
Usually, yes. Medi-Cal generally covers emergency dental care for pain and infection. Call us as soon as the problem starts so we can help quickly.
What counts as a dental emergency?
A knocked-out or badly broken tooth, severe tooth pain, or a swollen face or jaw. For bleeding that won't stop or trouble breathing, call 911 first. If you're not sure, call us and we'll help you decide.

For a permanent tooth, hold it by the crown, rinse it gently and put it back in the socket or store it in milk, then see a dentist right away. Don't put a baby tooth back in; call us instead.
Does it matter which Medi-Cal dental plan my child has?
