It is common to experience dental trauma. The Smile Team is here to provide you with the care you need and the right steps to take during situations like these. To start, what is dental trauma? Dental trauma is when injuries occur to the teeth, gums, tissues, and bones of the mouth. Some examples of this include the following:
- A chipped tooth
- A jammed tooth
- A broken or jammed jaw
- Cuts in your soft tissue (like your cheeks and lips)
If for any reason you encounter something like this, what must you do? We suggest that the first thing you do is contact your dentist! They will provide you with specific steps to take for your situation. Dental injuries like a slightly chipped tooth can wait until you see a dentist. Other injuries, however, like a knocked-out tooth or broken jaw, need immediate treatment.
