Emergency Trauma Care

Emergency Trauma Care

Falls, sports injuries and accidents are a normal part of childhood – and teeth are often in the firing line. A chipped, displaced or knocked-out tooth is distressing for both child and parents, but prompt treatment makes a real difference to how well the tooth can be saved and how it heals.

We provide prompt care for dental injuries: assessing the damage, relieving pain, repositioning or splinting displaced teeth, restoring broken teeth and, where possible, re-implanting knocked-out permanent teeth. We also monitor injured teeth over time, as some effects of trauma appear weeks or months later.

What this service includes

•  Urgent assessment of chipped, broken or displaced teeth
•  Pain relief and management of soft tissue injuries
•  Repositioning and splinting of loosened or displaced teeth
•  Re-implantation of knocked-out permanent teeth where possible
•  Restoration of fractured teeth
•  Scheduled follow-up to monitor healing of injured teeth

Who is it for?

Children and teenagers who have injured their teeth, lips or gums in a fall, sports activity or accident. If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, contact us immediately – time matters greatly for saving the tooth.
