Dental Trauma treatment in Mexico City

Dental trauma is an injury that affects the teeth and the tissues that support them, such as the gums or the bone, generally caused by a blow, a fall, or an accident.

How it presents: It can range from a small fracture of the enamel to the displacement or complete loss of a tooth, sometimes with pain, bleeding, or sensitivity.

When to seek care? A dental injury is a good idea to treat promptly, since the speed of the evaluation influences the care of the affected tooth.

Which specialist treats it? The dentist performs the initial evaluation; depending on the case, the endodontist, the maxillofacial surgeon, or, in children, the pediatric dentist is involved. When there is a blow to the teeth, seeking timely dental care is the most advisable choice.
