Dental Trauma is a physical injury that involves the teeth, gums, and jawbone. It may also affect soft tissues, such as lips and tongue.
The following injuries fall under the category of dental trauma:
Also called a knocked-out tooth is a condition in which the tooth completely comes out of the socket as an impact of trauma.
It is one of the most severe dental injuries in which the tooth gets pushed into the socket.
It involves the damage to the ligaments that hold a tooth into its place without abnormal loosening or displacement of the tooth. It may lead to discoloration of the tooth.
It refers to a condition where traumatic impacts loosen the tooth but are not entirely knocked out of the socket. It shows mobility, and the tooth may be moved forward, sideways, or backward.
The most conditions causing dental trauma include:
Dentists at Focus Smiles Dental Clinic may evaluate you on the following basis before commencing the treatment for dental trauma:
Treatment of dental trauma at Focus Smiles Dental Clinic depends on the type of injury, such as:
In cases of avulsion, keep the tooth with you and hold it by the crown (visible white part of the tooth). Rinse it with water but don’t touch or rub the tooth.
Place the tooth back in its socket in the right direction and way. Do not force it into place. If it’s impossible, put the tooth in a small container of milk, your saliva, or a glass of water containing a pinch of table salt. Irrespective of any circumstance, visit the dentist as quickly as possible.
The treatment plant in cases of intrusion depends on the displacement of the tooth. Depending upon how much tooth structure has been formed and the impact of the injury, the dentist may decide to leave it on its own to reposition itself, or it may require certain treatments, such as extraction.
In cases of concussion, extensive treatments are not required generally. The tooth should be kept under observation to optimize the healing of the periodontal ligament (the structure that supports the tooth) to maintain healthy pulp.
In cases of luxation, the dentist at Focus Smiles Dental Clinic may consider repositioning the affected tooth depending on the degree of its mobilization. They may also provide you with a splint to stabilize the tooth.
If baby teeth have been chipped off, they can be restored using a tooth-colored filling.
Dislodged or avulsed baby teeth should not be replanted in the tooth socket because it may cause further damage to the developing permanent tooth growing inside the bone.
Children’s permanent teeth that are still developing at the time of the injury need utmost attention and careful follow-up. Some may need it, but not all of them will require root canal treatment.
