Trauma treatment for chipped or dislodged teeth varies depending on the type and severity of the injury. An endodontist must examine and treat the tooth accordingly. Root canal treatment is often employed for various dental traumas, such as a knocked-out tooth or a root fracture. Patients should seek treatment for these injuries immediately.
A crown fracture occurs when the enamel or dentin of your tooth is cracked.
In some cases of injury, your tooth might be moved into another position instead of getting knocked out completely.
Dental avulsion occurs when your tooth is knocked out as a result of trauma.
Dental intrusion, extrusion, tooth fractures, subluxation, and lateral luxation can also occur from trauma.
We are endodontic dental specialists, who have three additional years of advanced training after completing dental school. We limit our practice to root canal treatment and other procedures involving the soft inner tissue of the tooth referred to as the pulp.
