Traumatic Dental Injuries
Dental trauma can involve chipped, displaced, loosened, or knocked-out teeth. Prompt evaluation is important, even when an injury initially seems minor.
Traumatic dental injuries may occur from accidents, sports, falls, or other impact. Treatment depends on the type of injury, the stage of root development, and whether the pulp or surrounding tissues are affected.
Green Mountain Endodontics evaluates injured teeth, coordinates with referring dentists, and helps determine whether observation, splinting, root canal treatment, or other care is needed.
When to call
If you have swelling, severe pain, trauma, or symptoms that are worsening, please contact the office so the team can help determine the appropriate next step.
Act quickly
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, time matters. Contact a dentist or emergency provider immediately.
Watch neighboring teeth
Teeth near the injury can also be affected and may need follow-up testing even if they look normal.
Follow-up matters
Some trauma-related changes appear later, so monitoring may be recommended after the first visit.
