Treatment of dental injuries

A fall, impact, or cycling accident can result in a fracture, dislocation, or even a knocked-out tooth. Prompt and proper assistance in the first few hours after an injury often determines whether the tooth can be saved.

Types of dental injuries and first steps after an accident

An injury can result in a chipped or broken crown, a root fracture, loosening, displacement, or the complete loss of a tooth. Following the incident, it is advisable to keep any broken fragments, and store a knocked-out tooth in milk or saline solution, handling it only by the crown. Regardless of the extent of the damage, contact the clinic as soon as possible.

How we help after an injury at Mabel Clinic

We begin the visit with a thorough examination and radiological diagnostics to assess the condition of the crowns, roots and bone. Depending on the diagnosis, we restore broken teeth with composite, splint loose teeth with a flexible splint, or replant an avulsed tooth. Following trauma, teeth are then subject to a follow-up plan, as their pulp requires observation over the subsequent months.

Further care and prognosis after injury

Some teeth require root canal treatment over time following an injury, which is why regular follow-up appointments with X-rays are crucial for detecting any changes early. We also care about aesthetics: discoloured or restored teeth can ultimately be strengthened and enhanced with bonding, veneers, or crowns. A properly managed tooth after an injury can last a lifetime.
