Common types of dental trauma from impact injuries include cracked or chipped teeth, tooth displacement (where teeth become loose or pushed out of position), tooth intrusion (where teeth are pushed into the jawbone), and avulsion (complete tooth loss). At London Dental Specialists, we also frequently treat crown fractures, root fractures, and injuries to the supporting tissues such as the gums and jawbone. Each type of trauma requires specific treatment approaches based on severity and location.
Immediately after a dental injury, you should:
Prompt treatment within 30-60 minutes significantly improves outcomes, especially for avulsed (knocked-out) teeth.
At London Dental Specialists, traumatic dental injuries are treated based on the specific type and severity of the trauma. For broken teeth with pulp exposure, we may perform root canal therapy. Loose or displaced teeth are stabilised using specialised splints until healing occurs. Completely knocked-out teeth can often be reimplanted if treated promptly. We use advanced diagnostic imaging to assess the full extent of damage and create comprehensive treatment plans that may include restorative procedures such as bonding, crowns, or implants for severely damaged teeth. Our specialists prioritise both immediate pain relief and long-term functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Recovery from dental trauma varies depending on the severity and type of injury. Minor chips or cracks may require only a single treatment visit, while more severe injuries involving the pulp or supporting structures typically take 6-8 weeks for initial healing. Teeth that have been knocked out and reimplanted may require 3-6 months for reattachment. Complete healing, including bone regeneration in cases of severe trauma, can take up to 12 months. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive follow-up care to monitor healing and address any complications promptly.
Untreated dental trauma can lead to several serious complications including pulp necrosis (death of the nerve), root resorption (deterioration of the tooth root), infection, abscess formation, and eventual tooth loss. Aesthetic issues such as tooth discolouration may also develop. Additionally, untreated trauma can cause misalignment of surrounding teeth, bite problems, and chronic pain. At London Dental Specialists, we emphasise the importance of prompt treatment to minimise these risks and preserve your natural teeth whenever possible.
After dental trauma treatment, follow these care instructions:
Proper aftercare significantly improves long-term outcomes and prevents complications.
Yes, traumatised teeth can change colour, which often indicates damage to the pulp (nerve and blood vessels). A grey or dark discolouration typically suggests that the pulp has been damaged and may be dying or already necrotic. Yellow or brown discolouration might indicate internal bleeding within the tooth. Pink discolouration can represent internal resorption. At London Dental Specialists, we carefully monitor colour changes as they provide important diagnostic information. Treatment options for discoloured traumatised teeth include root canal therapy followed by internal bleaching or restoration with crowns or veneers, depending on the cause and extent of discolouration.
Children are indeed more susceptible to dental trauma due to their active lifestyles and developing coordination. Treatment for children differs from adults because their teeth are still developing. At London Dental Specialists, we take special considerations for young patients, including the stage of tooth development, potential impact on permanent teeth, and growth factors. Children's teeth have greater healing capacity, particularly for pulp exposure and reimplantation. We use more conservative approaches when possible and closely monitor developing teeth after trauma to ensure proper eruption patterns and root development. Our child-friendly environment helps reduce anxiety during these potentially distressing treatments.
To prevent dental trauma during sports and physical activities, we recommend:
Custom-fitted mouthguards from London Dental Specialists offer superior protection compared to over-the-counter options and are especially recommended for contact sports and high-impact activities.
