Dental Trauma treatment in Tampico

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.
