Trauma (Fall / Impact Case)

How to Store a Broken Tooth?

To preserve the vitality of a fractured or knocked-out tooth, it can be stored in milk or in the child’s saliva until reaching the dentist.

How soon should you go to the dentist?

After a fall or impact, it is very important to visit a dentist within 30 minutes to 1 hour. Within this time frame, a knocked-out tooth can often be repositioned back into the mouth, increasing the chances of saving the tooth.

What are the treatments after dental trauma?

Long-term follow-up is very important in cases of fractured teeth. Tooth discoloration, swelling, and pain are possible complications that may develop later. Therefore, routine 6-month check-ups are essential.

How is splint treatment performed?

Depending on the type of fracture after a fall, the broken tooth fragment may be bonded back. If the tooth is completely knocked out, splint treatment is applied, where the teeth are stabilized using a wire for a period of 2–4 weeks.
