Trauma (Fall / Impact Case)

How Should a Broken Tooth Be Preserved?
To prevent a broken or displaced tooth from losing its vitality, it can be kept in milk or in the child’s saliva until reaching the dentist.

How Quickly Should You See a Dentist?
After a fall or impact, it is very important to visit a dentist within 30 minutes to 1 hour. During this period, displaced teeth can be repositioned in the mouth, increasing the chance of saving the tooth.

What Are the Treatments After Trauma?
Long-term follow-up is always very important for broken teeth. Discoloration, swelling, and pain are possible issues that may arise later. Routine 6-month check-ups are therefore highly important.

How Should Splinting Be Applied?
After a fall, depending on the type of tooth fracture, the broken fragment can be bonded back. If the tooth has been completely knocked out, splint treatment is applied, and the teeth are stabilized with a wire for a period of 2 to 4 weeks.
