Dental trauma

Treatment of dental trauma

The endodontist is an expert in the management of dental trauma. Following an accident, teeth may become displaced, fractured or avulsed.

Traumatized teeth may require reimplantation, repositioning or reconstruction. In such a situation, it’s vital to consult a dental professional as soon as possible, whether it’s a dentist or an endodontist. Following the initial examination, your dentist may refer you to an endodontist for follow-up or treatment of traumatized teeth. After a thorough examination, the endodontist will be able to explain the best treatment for your situation, whether it’s simply follow-up, twinning, root canal treatment or, unfortunately, extraction of the tooth concerned.
