Dislodged Teeth
A dislodged tooth may be pushed deeper into the socket, shifted out of position, or partially loosened. Prompt evaluation is important to stabilize the tooth and assess the condition of the pulp and surrounding structures.
In some cases, the pulp may remain healthy, while in others, endodontic treatment may be needed to prevent infection. Delayed care can increase the risk of complications, including:
Infection of the tooth or surrounding tissue
Difficulty maintaining proper oral hygiene
Increased risk of tooth loss
Avulsed Teeth
An avulsed tooth is completely knocked out and requires immediate attention. Acting quickly can improve the chances of saving the tooth. If possible, gently place the tooth back in the socket. If not, store it in milk or keep it moist and seek emergency care right away.
Treatment depends on how long the tooth has been out, how it was stored, and the stage of development. Our team will assess the situation and recommend the most appropriate care to support healing and long-term stability.
Dental Trauma in Children
Injuries to developing teeth require careful evaluation to protect future growth and function. When possible, treatments focus on preserving pulp vitality and supporting continued root development.
In cases where the pulp is affected, specialized procedures may be used to encourage healing and maintain the tooth structure. Ongoing monitoring and coordination with your general dentist are important to support long-term outcomes.
