Dental Injuries

An acute dental trauma requires prompt action. If you have been in an accident and injured your teeth — a fall, a blow, or a collision — it is important to see a dentist as quickly as possible. Time makes a significant difference to what we can save, and you do not have to face it alone.

When an accident happens

A tooth can become loosened, displaced, fractured, or knocked out entirely. Even when it appears undamaged, it may have sustained internal injury. It is therefore always worth having it examined, even if it is not painful. If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, it can often be replanted — keep it moist in a little milk or in your mouth while you make your way to us.

How we can help

We assess the damage carefully, evaluate each tooth individually, and devise a plan that preserves as much as possible. Treatment of dental trauma follows recognised professional guidelines, so you are in safe hands. Call the clinic — we can always offer you an emergency appointment the same day if you call before 9:00 am.
