Injuries to teeth generally happen while playing sports or due to a minor accident, usually resulting in a chipped tooth. However, regardless of the severity of the injury, it’s important to seek immediate endodontic attention so the problem doesn’t get worse. Many times damage to the tooth or neighboring teeth can only be detected through a dental exam.
Management of trauma may include:
- Root canal treatment
- Splinting of the tooth
- Regenerative therapy
- Extraction and replacement
