If you experience a traumatic injury to your face, it is important to see your dentist immediately even if the injuries to the mouth seem minimal. Often these injuries are more serious than they seem at first, and left untreated could cause greater complications including infection or loss of a tooth.
When should I see me emergency dentist?
Make an emergency appointment if you are experiencing (or suspect you are experiencing):
- An avulsed (knocked out) tooth
- A luxated (dislodged) tooth
- A chipped or broken tooth
- A root fracture
How will my dentist treat my injury?
Your dentist will perform a dental exam and depending on the severity of the trauma may also take x-rays. Depending on the nature of your injury, the dentist may perform any number of procedures including:
- A filling
- A crown
- A root canal
- Extractions
- Replacement surgery
- A dental implant
