What is Tooth Trauma?

Tooth trauma is a term used to describe an injury that can occur to the teeth, gums, or other parts of the oral cavity. The study of tooth trauma is known as dental traumatology. Tooth trauma can occur as a result of accidents or sports injuries. Most of these injuries are minor, such a chipped tooth. The treatment for tooth trauma is heavily dependent upon the type, severity, and location of the injuries. Regardless of the extent of the injuries, immediate attention by a dentist is required.

Signs of Tooth Trauma

  • Enamel fracture
  • Root fracture of the tooth
  • Enamel dentine fracture
  • Subluxation of the tooth
  • Avulsion of the tooth

Key benefits of tooth Trauma Treatment

  • It gives the patient improved self-confidence. Patients who undergo tooth trauma treatment procedures discover that their self-esteem is restored, a benefit that can filter through to both social and professional areas of life.
  • It helps avoid future dental complications. When it comes to oral health issues, the earlier they are attended to, the better.
  • It will save you money in the long run. It is cheaper to address dental issues as early as possible rather than prolong until they have become more complicated and costly to get addressed.

What to eat before and after the procedure

Immediately before and after the treatment procedure, you must avoid hard-to-bite foods such as apples and tough meats. These will delay the recovery process as they are capable of compromising the injured tissues. You should eat soft foods such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, bananas, soft-cereals, and so on.

Durability of tooth trauma treatment

The durability of tooth trauma treatment is heavily dependent upon the extent of injuries that occurred. Your dentist at Smiley Dental will give you a professional opinion on the durability of your treatment, depending on your particular circumstances.

After procedure care

After tooth trauma, you must maintain your routine oral hygiene regimen. You should brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and do flossing once a day. You should also give yourself adequate time to rest for the following couple of days, ensuring that you limit the time you spent doing physically strenuous activities. Doing so will hasten the recovery process. It is also vital that you schedule regular appointments with your dentist so that he or she can do professional dental checkups on you during the recovery process.
