Emergency Exam
The patient will be examined by a dentist to determine the extent and severity of the injury. The dentist will take x-rays to see the damage inside the tooth or jaw, and determine the best course of treatment.
Pain Management
If the patient is experiencing pain or discomfort, the dentist will provide pain management options, such as local anesthesia or over-the-counter pain medication.
Stabilization
The first step in treating a dental traumatic injury is to stabilize the affected tooth or teeth. This may involve splinting or repositioning the tooth to keep it in place.
Preservation
If the tooth is knocked out, the dentist will try to preserve the tooth by placing it back in its socket or storing it in a solution designed to keep the tooth alive.
Repair
Depending on the type and severity of the injury, the dentist will repair the tooth using various techniques such as dental bonding, filling, crowns, root canal therapy, or tooth replacement.
Follow-up
The patient will be scheduled for follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure the tooth is healing properly.
Prevention
The dentist will also provide the patient with instructions on how to prevent further injuries, such as wearing a mouthguard during sports or avoiding biting on hard foods.
It is important to remember that seeking prompt treatment is crucial for the best outcome after a dental traumatic injury. The longer the injury goes untreated, the greater the chance of losing the tooth or having more extensive treatment needed.
