Traumatic dental injuries are most commonly caused by accidents and participation in sports. The most common injury is a chipped tooth, though teeth may also become dislodged or knocked out completely. These injuries happen less often but can be rather severe. Treatment of dental injuries depends on the type of injury and the severity of it. The location of the tooth can also change treatment.

Even if you don’t think your injury is severe, it is always important to have it checked out by a dentist or endodontist right away. Another tooth may also have problems from the injury, and the only way you can tell is by a dental examination and potential X-rays.

With many offering evening and weekend appointments, and some even having dentists available on call, their aim is to address your dental emergency promptly and alleviate your pain as soon as possible.
