Common Types of Traumatic Tooth Injuries

A dental injury can range from minor chips to severe damage affecting the tooth, gums, and surrounding structures. Common types of traumatic dental injuries include:

• Chipped or fractured teeth – Small chips may be repaired with dental bonding, while larger fractures may require a dental crown.
• Cracked teeth – Deep cracks can expose the inner pulp, requiring a root canal or crown to prevent infection.
• Dislodged (luxated) teeth – A tooth that has been pushed out of position may need stabilization with a splint.
• Knocked-out teeth (avulsed teeth) – If a tooth is completely knocked out, it may be replanted if treated quickly.
• Soft tissue injuries – Cuts or damage to the gums, lips, tongue, or cheeks may require stitches and follow-up care.

Seeking immediate treatment increases the chances of saving the tooth and preventing long-term damage.

What to Do If You Suffer a Dental Injury

Acting quickly after a dental injury can make a significant difference in the outcome. Follow these steps based on the type of trauma:

For a Knocked-Out Tooth:

• Find the tooth and handle it only by the crown (avoid touching the root).
• Rinse the tooth gently with water if dirty (do not scrub).
• Try to reinsert the tooth into its socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or saliva to keep it moist.
• See a dentist within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.

For a Chipped or Cracked Tooth:

• Rinse your mouth with warm water.
• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Save any broken pieces if possible.
• Avoid chewing on the affected side until treated.

For Soft Tissue Injuries (Gums, Lips, Cheeks):

• Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to stop bleeding.
• Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Seek emergency dental care if bleeding does not stop after 10–15 minutes.

If you’re unsure whether your injury requires urgent care, contact Isles Dental for guidance.
