Tooth trauma refers to injury affecting teeth, gums, or supporting structures caused by accidents, sports impacts, or falls, resulting in chips, fractures, displacement, or tooth loss that require immediate dental evaluation and care to preserve tooth health and function long-term.
The dentist assesses damage using examination and imaging, stabilizes injured teeth, and provides appropriate treatment based on severity and type of trauma to restore structure, function, and appearance while minimizing complications and supporting proper healing following injury occurrence or accident.
Timely treatment of tooth trauma preserves teeth, reduces pain, prevents infection, improves healing, and increases the chance of saving natural teeth after injury while restoring appearance, function, and patient confidence during recovery from unexpected dental emergencies and traumatic events overall.
