Treatment of Dental Trauma: Restoring Your Smile After Injury

Dental trauma can happen suddenly and unexpectedly, whether due to an accident, sports injury, or fall.

At 25 Devonshire Place, we are skilled in treating all types of dental trauma, from chipped and cracked teeth to more severe injuries like knocked-out teeth or jaw damage.

Our goal is to provide immediate care, relieve pain, and restore your smile’s function and appearance.

What is Dental Trauma?

Dental trauma refers to any injury to the teeth, gums, or surrounding structures of the mouth. This can include fractures, chips, loose teeth, and even complete tooth avulsion (a tooth being knocked out). Trauma can also affect the soft tissues of the mouth and jaw. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent further damage, reduce pain, and increase the chances of saving the tooth.

How Do We Treat Dental Trauma?

The treatment for dental trauma depends on the type and severity of the injury. Common treatments include dental bonding or veneers for minor chips, crowns for fractured teeth, and root canals for damaged pulp. If a tooth has been knocked out, we will attempt to replant it if seen immediately. In more complex cases, such as jaw fractures, we may collaborate with oral surgeons to ensure a comprehensive recovery plan.

Why Immediate Care is Important

Quick, professional care can make a significant difference in the outcome of dental trauma. If a tooth is cracked or knocked out, immediate attention can often save the tooth and prevent long-term complications. We are dedicated to providing fast, effective treatment to alleviate pain and restore your oral health as quickly as possible.

At our practice, we understand the urgency of dental trauma and provide personalised, expert care to help you recover. Whether you’ve suffered a minor injury or a more severe accident, our team is here to restore your smile and get you back to feeling confident and comfortable.
