Dental injuries can result from a variety of sources, including accidents, sports-related activities, and slips or falls. These usually involve any form of trauma to the teeth, gums or jaw. Dental trauma can vary in intensity, ranging from minor to severe. This may involve fractures, chips, cracks or breaks of the teeth, displacement or dislodging of a tooth, pushing of a tooth into the jawbone and even soft tissue injuries such as lacerations or contusions.
Dental injuries can cause pain, bleeding, and swelling, and can also lead to long-term complications such as infection, tooth loss or changes in bite alignment. It is important to seek immediate treatment for dental injuries to prevent further damage and ensure the best outcome.
A prompt treatment can help to save and preserve the natural tooth, restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak properly, prevent infection, and ensure proper spacing and alignment of the teeth.
