Types of Dental Injuries and Their Impact

Traumatic dental injuries encompass a range of situations, from minor chips or fractures in the enamel to more severe issues like a dislodged or completely knocked-out tooth. Damage can also extend to the soft tissues—your gums, tongue, and inner cheeks—causing pain, bleeding, and the potential for infection.

The impact of these injuries goes beyond immediate discomfort. If left untreated, a fractured tooth can lead to nerve damage and infection, potentially requiring more complex procedures like root canal treatment or extraction. Even a minor chip can weaken the tooth’s structure, increasing the risk of further damage and decay.
