Dental trauma refers to injuries of the teeth or mouth, including the tongue, gums, or lips. This most often occurs do to blunt force being applied in the mouth area. Injuries such as a broken tooth need to be addressed quickly.
Dental Avulsion
This is the medical term given to describe when a tooth is completely knocked out of the mouth. When this happens, call us immediately.
Dental Abscess
An abscess is a buildup of pus inside a tooth caused by an infection. If not taken care of quickly, this can lead to a worse infection and decay of the tooth.
