What To Do About Injured Teeth As A Result Of An Accident
It is a fact of life that traumatic dental injuries do happen each and every day with young and old alike across the country. These types of dental injuries are frequently the result of sports accidents as well as automobile accidents and other types of incidents. Chipped teeth are perhaps one of the most common forms of dental injuries associated with accidents in general. A tooth that has been knocked out or dislodged is less frequent but is considered a more severe type of injury. Treatment for these conditions depends on the severity of the injury as well as the location of the affected tooth.
The Damage May Go Unnoticed
Keep in mind that any dental injury regardless of how minor should always be immediately addressed by a dental care professional. This simple step alone can help to save a tooth that may have otherwise been lost as a result of the injury. Even the neighboring teeth of a tooth that has been traumatically injured may have been damaged and may go unnoticed unless dental care is provided immediately. An endodontist is a type of dental professional that specializes in treating dental injuries that are traumatic in nature. Endodontic care includes advanced techniques and technologies that are designed specifically to save teeth that have become injured.
Endodontic Treatment Has Proven Itself Time And Again
Any time a patient has a cracked or injured tooth it is important to meet with an endodontist right away. Whether talking about a fractured or chipped tooth or some other type of traumatic injury, endodontic care along with general dentistry is absolutely essential. With years of successful experience, endodontic treatment has proven itself time and again as being a highly effective modality for dealing with traumatized teeth.
