At Prime Dental Center, we understand that accidents can happen at any time, often leading to traumatic dental injuries. Whether it’s a sports-related incident, a fall, or any other unexpected event, these types of injuries can cause significant pain and distress. Our experienced dental team is here to provide prompt and effective care to restore your smile and alleviate discomfort.
Common Types of Traumatic Dental Injuries
Traumatic dental injuries can vary in severity, ranging from chipped or cracked teeth to more serious issues like tooth fractures, dislodged teeth, or even tooth avulsion (completely knocked-out teeth). In some cases, the surrounding gum and soft tissues may also be affected. Immediate treatment is crucial to prevent further complications and to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
In the event of a traumatic dental injury, acting quickly is crucial for the best outcome. Here are some important steps to take before heading to Prime Dental Center:
- For a knocked-out tooth, gently rinse it with water (without scrubbing) and attempt to place it back in the socket. The tooth can be kept in milk or a saline solution if you are unable to put it back in.
- For chipped or cracked teeth, gently rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress to minimize swelling.
It’s important to contact our office immediately for an emergency appointment.
