Whether it’s a minor chip or a severe fracture, we offer comprehensive care for both children and adults.
Understanding Dental Trauma and Fractures
Dental trauma refers to injuries to the teeth, gums, or surrounding tissues, often caused by accidents, falls, or sports injuries. These can range from mild chips to more severe fractures or dislodged teeth. Dental fractures occur when a tooth breaks, cracks, or splits due to impact or excessive pressure. Both conditions require immediate attention to prevent further damage and complications.
Some common types of dental trauma and fractures include:
Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Often caused by accidents, biting hard objects, or grinding teeth.
Fractured Teeth: A deeper crack that may affect the tooth’s structure and root, causing sensitivity or pain.
Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsion): A complete dislodgement of the tooth from its socket, requiring urgent treatment.
Dislodged Teeth (Luxation): When a tooth is loosened or shifted in its position but remains in the socket.
Treatment Approach at Sobti Nursing Home
At Sobti Nursing Home, we understand that dental trauma can be distressing, and we focus on providing timely and effective treatments. Our dental surgeon, Dr. Harsh Sobti, ensures that each patient receives personalized care and the most appropriate treatment for their condition.
Evaluation and Diagnosis The first step in managing dental trauma is a thorough examination. Dr. Harsh Sobti will assess the extent of the injury using clinical evaluation and advanced diagnostic tools like dental X-rays. This helps in determining whether the damage is limited to the enamel or involves the pulp (nerve) or root of the tooth.
Treatment of Chipped and Fractured Teeth
For minor chips or fractures, we typically use dental bonding to restore the tooth’s natural shape and appearance. This involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the damaged area.
For more severe fractures, dental crowns may be used to protect and strengthen the tooth. Crowns are custom-made caps that cover the damaged tooth entirely, providing both aesthetic and functional restoration.
If the fracture affects the pulp, a root canal may be necessary to remove damaged tissue and prevent infection, followed by a crown for protection.
Treatment for Knocked-Out Teeth If a tooth is knocked out completely, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment. Dr. Harsh Sobti will attempt to reimplant the tooth, provided it is done within the critical window of time (usually within an hour of the injury). The tooth will be stabilized using a splint, and follow-up care will be provided to monitor healing.
Managing Dislodged Teeth For teeth that have been loosened or displaced, we will reposition the tooth in its proper alignment and secure it with a dental splint. This temporary stabilization allows the surrounding tissues to heal and reattach to the tooth.
Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up After treatment, follow-up care is essential to ensure proper healing. Dr. Sobti provides patients with detailed post-treatment instructions, which may include soft diet recommendations, proper oral hygiene practices, and pain management. Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor recovery and ensure no further complications arise.
