Dental trauma can include damage to teeth, gums, lips or mouth area. Such injuries can be highly stressful for both the child and parents so it is important to know what to do when dental trauma occurs.
What to do when your child experiences dental trauma
Dental trauma for children is very common due to the fact that kids are accident prone. When an accident occurs and your child’s mouth is affected, it is important to get in contact with you dentist right away so that your child can see the dentist as soon as possible.
At our clinic we offer same day emergency services so you and your family can rely on us for any emergency and dental trauma needs.
It is important to visit your dentist as soon as possible to minimise any additional damage and long-term complications.
It is important to visit your dentist as soon as possible if a tooth has:
- moved from its original position
- cracked, chipped or fractured
- been knocked out
- been pushed into the gums and bone
