Dental Trauma
A tooth may be pushed sideways, out of, or up into its socket as a result of a traumatic dental injury. In such cases, your tooth will be repositioned and stabilized by your endodontist or general dentist. If irreversible damage to the nerve, root, or blood vessels is discovered, a root canal procedure will likely be recommended to avoid tooth discoloration or abscess. This should be scheduled as soon as possible after the initial dental trauma.
Since their permanent teeth are still developing, children aged 12 and under may need special management and treatment. Your child’s endodontist will keep a close eye on the healing process and intervene promptly if any concerning changes occur. A number of follow-up visits may be needed in such situations.
