Dental Trauma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Dental trauma is an injury that affects the teeth and the tissues surrounding them, such as the gums, lips, or supporting bone, generally due to a blow, a fall, or an accident.
Common manifestations: It can range from a fractured, loosened, or displaced tooth to its complete displacement, in addition to pain, bleeding, or sensitivity in the area.
When to seek care? It is advisable to seek attention as soon as possible after the blow, since speed influences the care of the affected tooth.
Which specialist handles it? The dentist, the endodontist, and the maxillofacial surgeon evaluate this type of injury depending on its severity, and the pediatric dentist treats the youngest patients. With a blow to the mouth, getting to a dental professional promptly makes the difference.
