What Are Traumatic Dental Injuries?
of Traumatic injuries to your teeth, the soft tissues of your mouth (tongue, gums, and lips), or jawbone can be caused by a direct strike to the mouth. Oral injuries can occur while playing sports, during a car collision, falls or in everyday mishaps. Treatments for an oral injury will change based on your specific case. Even if your injury doesn't seem serious or you are not in pain, Kirkland, WA patients should seek out immediate help from our dental professionals to evaluate and diagnose the trauma and protect against further damage and illness. This is particularly true in cases knocked out teeth. The priority should be finding all the pieces of the tooth and either re-inserting into its original position or putting them in milk or water until the patient can see the endodontist for evaluation and repair.
At Prime Endodontics in Kirkland, WA, our endodontics team performs numerous procedures to correct dental and oral issues that occur as a result of trauma. Contact our practice immediately after a traumatic oral injury to schedule an appointment.
How Are Traumatic Dental Injuries Treated?
The number of procedures that might be necessary to care for your traumatic injury will be based on the severity. Our team will assess your trauma and may take different types of imaging to better understand the magnitude of the trauma. We will then explain your condition and discuss your treatment options. In some cases, surgical intervention could be required, especially for a significant injury to your jawbone. Other cases may only involve an in-office treatment with a local anesthetic. Several procedures may have to be combined to fully heal the injury. These treatments will be spaced out to permit time for healing.
What Are the Benefits of Treatments for Traumatic Dental Injuries?
Traumatic dental injuries often require prompt and effective treatment to prevent long-term damage and ensure the best possible outcome. These treatments not only address immediate concerns, such as pain and aesthetics, but they also play a critical role in preserving oral health and function. These treatments can help patients and their families appreciate the importance of seeking professional care immediately following a dental trauma and offer several key benefits:
- Prevention of infection
- Aesthetic restoration
- Pain management
- Prevention of further damage
- Focus on full function of the teeth
- Long-term health of teeth
- Effective for a patient's well-being
Prime Endodontics Reviews
Everyone here was so kind to me when I was very anxious. My treatment was speedy and painless and I very much appreciated the follow up the day after to check on me. I won't go anywhere else for my endodontic needs!
Dr Cohenca is truly a miracle worker! I had my first root canal today at age 68. I am the biggest baby in the world. It was so quick and easy and no pain. I highly recommend him if you need a root canal. He is beyond amazing! Thank you so much.
I have always been terrified of the idea of a root canal and never thought that I would actually require the procedure. I had a crown seated earlier in the year and knew that it was doomed from the start. When I developed a bump above the gumline over the tooth, I knew it was not going to be an easy fix. Boy, was I wrong. Dr. Nawari quickly diagnosed the issue with a set of x-rays and got straight to work. The process was complete in an hour and was incredibly easy. Dr. Nawari and Dulce were so kind and kept me comfortable and informed throughout. I was given headphones to connect to my phone/Spotify and the procedure was displayed on a screen for me to watch, if I chose to do so. Another set of x-rays concluded the procedure and confirmed that all was looking great, now! I can see why they have such a high rating - they are absolute superstars and so incredibly kind and understanding. Their amazing office administrator, Julie, kindly gave me some thoughtful recommendations for general providers on my way out, as I mentioned to her that I was seeking new general dentistry care. I would not hesitate to come back here for future work, though I hope it's not necessary! I HIGHLY recommend Prime Endodontics and that is coming from someone who is on the upper end of the anxiety scale!
I had the most positive experience here getting my root canal done. When scheduling an appointment, I was surprised how soon it could be scheduled (next day or in a couple of days). Dr. Cohenca is incredibly professional. Before doing the procedure, he performed diagnostic tests in order to be 100% sure that root canal treatment is exactly what I needed. He took great care to inform me of what was going on with my tooth, what he was going to do during the procedure, and answered all my questions. I was also very positively surprised on his technique of administering the local anesthesia. The numbing gel helped with the uncomfortable shot and he took great care to add anesthesia in small bits to make sure I felt no pain. The procedure itself was practically painless and I was provided with chapstick, a blanket, and headphones to put on music from my phone. Very happy with my experience here and 100% recommend Dr. Cohenca.
Professional, excellent customer service, easy to schedule. Most importantly, I felt reassured to be taken care of by a highly skilled, kind clinician.
