Frequently Asked Questions About Traumatic Dental Injuries

What should I do with a knocked out tooth?

A permanent tooth that has been completely avulsed from the socket should be carefully rinsed off and placed back in the socket. Be sure to plug the drain and only handle the tooth by the crown, avoiding any contact with the root. If you can’t get the tooth back into the socket, put it in a cup of milk or saliva and contact us for further instructions.

How do I know if a bumped tooth is ok?

A tooth that has been bumped may appear to be fine, but later it may develop discoloration, such as a gray or brown color. This indicates that there is internal bleeding in the dental pulp and the tooth will need treatment.

Is a cracked or chipped tooth an emergency?

A tooth with a small crack or chip in a tooth is not necessarily an emergency, but it should be treated as soon as possible. Contact us during regular office hours and we will find time for you to come in for treatment.

Do you treat soft tissue and jaw injuries?

Depending on the situation we may treat soft tissue and/or jaw injuries. In some cases we may refer you to a different specialist who may be better trained and equipped to handle your situation.

Why sort of treatment will I need after a traumatic dental injury?

The treatment will depend on the type of injury, but in many cases root canal therapy will be necessary to save the tooth. The tooth may also need a crown if it was cracked, chipped, or broken.
