How to treat Dental injury?

 

A dentist must repair a broken tooth very away; if the crack has reached the pulp, root canal treatment (RTC) may be necessary the break or cracks may deepen if untreated, eventually preventing blood flow to the tooth and causing it to die. While some cracks are painless, when they are on the tooth's biting surface, they can be quite painful when chewing and drinking.

Examine the affected area if you lose or break a crown call your dentist right away if the crown has become loose. You could be instructed to use a temporary over-the-counter denture adhesive to reattach the crown on your changed teeth. Keep the crown if you have it and it's in good shape; the dentist might be able to reattach it. A new crown can be made if the old one is lost. In order to prevent the need for a second impression and prevent the gum tissue under the missing crown from growing and rendering the first impression useless, you should see the dentist as soon as possible after breaking or losing a crown.

If the tooth is completely knocked out, follow these directions:

  • Carefully pick it up by the crown, being careful to avoid the root. 
  • If there is any dirt on the root, gently rinse it off in standing water until it’s clean; do not hold under a faucet. 
  • Adults should carefully attempt to ease the tooth back into its socket, making sure to position it correctly. Small children who may choke should not do this.
  • Hold a tissue or cotton on top of the tooth to keep it in place, but do not push down.
  • Alternatively, you can place the tooth in a small container of milk or slightly salted water until you get treatment. 

For a completely dislodged tooth to be reimplanted, treatment must start within the hour, sometimes sooner
