Traumatic Injury in Florence, AL

Traumatic injuries to your teeth, soft tissues in your mouth (gums, tongue, and lips), or jaw may be brought on by playing sports, during a car accident, or in everyday mishaps. Trauma can cause many issues, such as chipped teeth, a knocked-out tooth, cuts to your gums, or even a broken jawbone. The treatment for an oral injury will vary based on your specific case. Even if the injury may not seem serious or you are not in pain, you should seek immediate professional care to address the injury and protect against further damage, like an infection. At Smith & Smith Endodontics, Drs. Wilder and Carol Smith perform numerous procedures to correct traumatic dental injuries. Contact our office in Florence, AL right away after having a traumatic oral injury to make an emergency appointment.

The number of procedures that could be needed to treat your traumatic injury will be dependent on the severity. We will evaluate your trauma and may take digital images to comprehend the extent of the trauma. We will subsequently explain your condition and go over your treatment choices. In some cases, surgical intervention could be required, particularly for a major injury to the jaw. Other instances might just require a simple treatment with little or no anesthesia. Multiple procedures may have to be combined to treat the injury completely. These procedures will be spaced out to allow time for recovery.

Treating a traumatic dental injury promptly can help prevent further damage, reduce pain, and increase the chances of saving the affected tooth. Additional benefits include:

  • Reduces pain and discomfort caused by the injury
  • Prevents further damage to the tooth or surrounding tissues
  • Increases the likelihood of saving the affected tooth
  • Promotes faster healing and recovery
  • Prevents complications like infection or misalignment
