What are the potential causes of a dental emergency?
The main cause of dental trauma are accidents such as falls, car accidents or sports related injuries. Accidents cannot be predicted or prevented but it is important to safeguard against potential injuries where possible.
For example, if you do regular contact sports ensure you have an effective gum shield customised to your own mouth to ensure effective protection when those heavy contact incidents take place.
Why is it worth treating?
If you do not treat dental trauma this could lead to discoloration of the tooth if the roots are damaged. You may lose your tooth permanently. The loss of one or multiple teeth due to an injury can have significant far-reaching effects not only on the look of your smile but also your ability to chew and speak so it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after the incident has occurred.
Why is it worth treating?
If a chipped, cracked or broken tooth is not treated over time the issue can get worst causing sensitivity and in situations where the tooth is cracked or broken the nerve can become exposed. This can cause severe pain/discomfort and potentially infection can set in. Failure to act quickly could lead to losing the tooth more quickly.
