What is dental trauma?

Injuries to teeth, gums and supporting structures

Dental trauma refers to injuries affecting the teeth, gums or supporting structures, caused by accidents or external forces. It ranges from minor chips to complete tooth loss. Common causes include falls, sports injuries, car accidents and other high-impact events.

Immediate treatment is crucial to prevent complications such as infection, misalignment or permanent tooth loss.

A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency. Immediate re-implantation is possible if the tooth is preserved correctly and brought to the clinic quickly.

Types of dental trauma

How we treat each injury

Tooth fractures

Enamel, crown and root fractures, from minor cracks to severe breaks. We restore with composite bonding, veneers or crowns, and root canal therapy where needed.

Tooth displacement

Intrusion (pushed deeper into the gum), extrusion (partly dislodged from the socket) or lateral displacement (forced sideways).

Avulsion (knocked-out tooth)

Immediate re-implantation, followed by splinting to stabilise the tooth, if it is preserved correctly and brought to us quickly.

Soft tissue injuries

Cuts, bruises or lacerations to the gums, lips or cheeks, treated promptly to ensure proper healing.

Causes

How dental injuries happen

Understanding common causes can help reduce the risks.

Sports and physical activities

Contact sports are a leading cause of dental injuries. Protective mouthguards minimise the risk.
Accidents and falls

Slips, trips and falls are common among children and seniors.
Car accidents

High-impact collisions can cause severe injuries to the mouth, teeth and jaws.
Daily activities

Chewing hard foods or using teeth as tools can cause unexpected fractures.

Why prompt treatment matters

Acting quickly protects your smile

What to do first: for a knocked-out tooth, place it in milk or saline and seek care immediately. For bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth. For pain, use a cold compress and over-the-counter pain relief while you wait for treatment.

OUR APPROACH

How we treat dental trauma

01
Emergency care

We prioritise emergency cases to relieve pain and stabilise the injury. Knocked-out teeth or severe pain? Visit us immediately.
02
Restorative dentistry

Fractures may be restored with composite bonding, veneers or crowns. Knocked-out teeth may be re-implanted and splinted.
03
Root canal therapy

When the pulp is exposed or infected, root canal therapy saves the tooth and prevents further complications.
04
Surgical intervention

Severe cases involving root fractures or jaw injuries may need minor oral surgery for the best outcome.
