Tooth Injury

Accidents and Traumatic Tooth Injury

All too often serious accidents happen today that result in serious personal injury as well as traumatic tooth damage. From automobile accidents to pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents as well as slip and fall accidents in the home or at work seriously damaged teeth can result. Perhaps one of the most common types of tooth injuries is something known as a chipped tooth. Other injuries include everything from knocked out teeth to cracked teeth and multiple tooth injuries. Regardless of how minor the injury it is always wise to have a dental care provider examine your teeth following any injury.

Immediate Attention

Keep in mind that postponing having a dental injury tended to can result in more serious injury and loss of teeth. As a matter of fact, there are many instances where immediate attention can ultimately save an injured tooth that may have otherwise been lost. A prompt dental examination is always the best option. Saving a tooth or multiple teeth following an accident is vital to ensuring that a patient maintains the highest level of personal self-image and self-confidence. In some cases a patient may visit their general dentistry care provider and then be referred to a specialist such as an endodontist.

More In Depth Dental Work

An endodontist has additional years of training and education beyond standard dentistry school and can often address more serious tooth related injuries. The endodontist will typically perform more detailed and more in depth dental work for many types of dental trauma and dental injury. Endodontic care plays a an important role in overall dental treatment in today’s world. While avoiding accidents and injuries is always the best course of action, unexpected accidents do occur. When accidents do happen and teeth become injured make the right choice and seek out medical and dental care as soon as possible.
