Root canal treatment of a tooth after trauma

A dental injury from a fall, impact, or accident can damage the pulp even if the tooth appears intact. Specialist endodontic treatment after injuries makes it possible to preserve the tooth and avoid future complications.

Endodontic treatment after trauma at Mabel Clinic

Why a broken or chipped tooth requires an endodontic examination

After an injury, the tooth pulp can become inflamed or die off, sometimes only weeks or months after the event. Warning signs include a change in the colour of the tooth, hypersensitivity, pain when biting, or a fistula on the gum. An untreated dead tooth becomes a source of chronic infection, which is why any injury, even a seemingly minor one, should be checked by a dentist.

How we provide post-traumatic treatment at Mabel Clinic

We start with a thorough examination and radiological diagnostics to assess the condition of the pulp, root, and surrounding tissues of the tooth. If the pulp has died, we perform root canal treatment under local anaesthetic and using a rubber dam, meticulously cleaning and tightly filling the canals. Teeth that have suffered trauma also require longer-term monitoring, which is why we schedule regular check-ups with X-rays.

Restoration and long-term care of a tooth after trauma

After completed root canal treatment, we aesthetically restore the tooth with composite, and in the case of more extensive damage, we reinforce it with a glass fibre post or an all-ceramic crown. Discoloured teeth following trauma can also be brightened with internal bleaching. Regular check-ups allow for the early detection of any potential complications, ensuring that a tooth after trauma can serve you for a lifetime.
