Diagnosis and Treatment for Trauma, Accident Pain
A dental emergency is usually sudden, painful, and frightening – especially when trauma is involved. Whether you’ve chipped a tooth playing sports or suffered an accident that caused more serious injury, Dr. Nazia Ahmed at Pure Dental Care in New York, New York, is here to provide fast, expert dental trauma treatment.
What Is Dental Trauma?
Dental trauma involves injuries to the teeth, jaw, gums, or surrounding oral tissues. It can range from minor chips to severe tooth displacements or fractures of the jawbone. Accidents, falls, sports injuries, or biting down on something too hard are common causes.
No matter the severity, it’s essential to have trauma evaluated as soon as possible to avoid complications such as infection, tooth loss, or long-term functional issues.
Common Types of Dental Injuries We Treat
At Pure Dental Care, Dr. Ahmed is experienced in treating a wide range of dental injuries, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Dislodged or knocked-out teeth (avulsed teeth)
- Fractured tooth roots
- Tooth luxation (loosened or moved tooth)
- Soft tissue injuries to the gums, lips, or cheeks
- Broken crowns, fillings, or restorations
Each case is unique, and treatment depends on the type and extent of the injury.
What Should You Do In A Dental Emergency?
If you’ve suffered dental trauma, time is critical—especially if a tooth has been knocked out. Here are a few immediate steps you can take:
- If a tooth is knocked out, lightly rinse it (avoid touching the root) and try placing it back in the empty socket or keeping it in milk until you reach the dentist.
- For a broken tooth, collect any pieces of the tooth you can locate and gently rinse your mouth using warm water.
- Apply a cold compress to help reduce visible swelling and to alleviate pain.
- Call our office immediately for emergency care.
Dr. Ahmed and her team try to accommodate same-day appointments for dental emergencies.
Treatment Options for Dental Trauma
Depending on the nature of the injury, Dr. Ahmed may recommend one or more of the following:
- Dental bonding or crowns for chips and fractures
- Root canal therapy for teeth with nerve damage or exposed pulp
- Reimplantation and stabilization of knocked-out teeth
- Sutures or laser treatment for soft tissue injuries
- Follow-up monitoring to ensure proper healing and prevent infection
We also work closely with trusted local specialists when advanced surgical care is needed.
