Accidents happen as do sports-related injuries. An injury to your mouth may push your teeth farther into their sockets. The majority of dental injuries are made up of chipped teeth.
The more severe cases are made up of teeth that have been knocked out. The treatment offered will depend on which tooth or teeth are involved and how severe the injury is.
Our Endodontists at “Endodontist” can treat chipped teeth or more severe dental trauma injuries like dislodged or knocked-out teeth. They will also conduct a dental exam to check for additional or previously non-noted injuries.
Any dental injury, even if apparently mild, requires examination by a dentist or an endodontist immediately.
We deal with the following:
* Dislodged Teeth
* Avulsed Teeth
* Injuries in children
* Apexogenesis
* Apexification
Your dentist will work to stabilize your tooth with root canal therapy. A medication such as calcium hydroxide will be inserted into your tooth and, as soon as possible, the complete root canal process will be performed.
In the event that a tooth is partially removed from the socket, your dentist will reposition and stabilize your tooth. As long as the pulp is healthy, nothing else is required. Should the pulp become infected, a root canal will be necessary.
If you receive a blow to your mouth, it’s possible that your teeth may be dislodged with causes the vessels that nourish the pulp to become damaged or infected. This means that the care of an endodontist is required.
If a tooth is cracked, it may require the attention of an endodontist. The dentist is able to reposition the tooth and secure it by attaching it to surrounding teeth.
In the event that a tooth is completely dislodged, it is frequently possible to save the tooth if it’s kept moist and the tooth is reinserted into the socket as soon as possible, following the accident. Once the root canal procedure is completed, the tooth usually reintegrates into the bone.
