Dental trauma covers any injury to the teeth, gums, lips or jaw. Even if a tooth appears intact after an injury, internal damage to the root or nerve may not show up until later. All dental trauma should be assessed by a dentist as soon as possible.
Collision sports, cycling and martial arts are among the most common causes of dental trauma.
Falling onto a hard surface — especially in children and older adults — frequently causes injury to the front teeth.
High-impact collisions can cause complex injuries involving multiple teeth and the jaw.
Injuries from tools or machinery can cause significant dental trauma.
We will carry out a full clinical examination and take X-rays to assess all affected teeth. Treatment may include splinting mobile teeth, root canal treatment, composite repair, crown placement or management of soft tissue injuries. Follow-up is often needed to monitor tooth vitality.
Prices confirmed at appointment. Written cost breakdown provided before any treatment begins.
