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

Prime Endodontics Reviews
I had my second root canal in a week performed by a very caring and skilled Dr. Cohenca. I can honestly say the experience was much easier and painless than I feared. In fact it was a lot like getting a cavity filled, just takes longer, about an hour. I was able to leave the office and go for a pain-free cold smoothie on the way home! The Dr. clearly explained the procedure with images, and I could see the before and after X-rays. He was assisted by skilled and compassionate professionals who made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The front desk staff is very competent as well.
If you need a root canal, look no further. Dr Cohenca is the only endodontist I will go to for root canals. I have had so many traumatic ones over the years, but for my last 2(which were repairs of old root canals), he fixed me right up. So professional, yet so sweet and caring. I believe him to be the best out there! He is honest and lets you know exactly what is going on, as well as having a dental office with the latest and greatest technology so you can even watch your own procedure.
Was able to visit this clinic in two different occasions and I recommend Prime Endodontics, very professional staff, very caring, they made sure I was comfortable and my dental procedure was excellent, I Receive a post-op call after each visit to check on my progress, that is something I really appreciate. My dentist informed me that he refer me to this clinic because of the good comments and excellent ratings, I can confirm that it is true and I do recommend this clinic.
Dr. Cohenca is so highly skilled & excellent at what he does. I had a very challenging root canal, and was very anxious. I needn’t have been - I experienced very minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. His staff was great - just couldn’t have asked for more. I would recommend Dr. Cohenca highly!!
I have had nothing but positive experiences at Prime Endodontics. Dr.Sahrd Nawari was especially adept at explaining the procedures and monitoring my comfort level and anxiety. have seen both doctors and they provide gentle care and my comfort came first. I highly recommend them.
