Traumatic Tooth Treatment
Ohio endodontist Dr. Najia Usman recommends traumatic tooth treatment to patients with the following concerns:
- Cracked teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Dislodged teeth
- Avulsed teeth
- Root fractures
Preparing for Traumatic Tooth Treatment
It is important that you see a doctor immediately after traumatic tooth injury. Dr. Usman will have you start preparing for your procedure and provide you with aftercare instructions and necessary prescriptions in advance so you are ready to go when the day arrives.
If you smoke or use other tobacco products, you will be required to quit using them before your procedure. You will also be directed to abstain from alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment.
Traumatic Tooth Treatment
Dr. Usman's treatment of your traumatic tooth injury will depend on the extent of your dental damage. In the case of an avulsed tooth, the doctor may be able to be put the tooth back in the socket and stabilize it with a splint.
The length of time the tooth was out of the mouth and the way it was stored before treatment will influence the type of treatment received. In the case of a cracked tooth it can be restored with a crown and may require a root canal.
