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
This is the only place to go if you need to get a root canal, it took less than an hour and he did an outstanding job. The staff there is spot on and they know what they’re doing. Highly recommend this place.
I had an apicoectomy with Dr. Cohenca and his team at Prime Endodontics, and honestly… wow. I was nervous going in (because surgery 😬), but they completely put me at ease. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt taken care of.The place is spotless, calm, and comforting. They wrapped me in a warm blanket (yes, that little touch made such a difference), explained everything so clearly, and were just so kind. Dr. Cohenca is not only an expert at what he does, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive.The surgery itself went super smoothly, and recovery has been way easier than I expected. I never thought I’d say this about a dental procedure, but the whole experience was actually… comforting? I left feeling genuinely grateful.If you’re anxious or unsure, this is the team you want by your side. 10/10.
I had the best experience. First of all the staff is accommodating and really caring as I was in so much pain they gave me earliest appointment which was next morning. I did my paper work before hand. Dr. Cohenca is an amazing doc. He evaluated me first to confirm that for sure root canal is required and then 1.5 hour around it took for while procedure. After 2 hours of root canal when my anesthesia was gone I had literally no pain.They even gave me headphones to listen to music so that I don’t have to hear that drilling noise and become anxious.100% recommend !!!
If you're suffering from tooth pain and don't know where to go, don't waste your time and money. Visit Prime Endodontics in Kirkland and see Dr. Nestor Cohenca, D.D.S. He’s not just an endodontist — he’s like an angel when it comes to fixing root canals.The office is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly.
