- Physical impact to the face or mouth
- Workplace injuries
Types of Dental Trauma We Treat
- Chipped or fractured teeth

If you’re unsure how serious the injury is, it’s best to have it examined immediately.
What to Do After Dental Trauma
- Rinse your mouth gently with water
- Avoid touching the injured area
- If a tooth is knocked out, keep it moist (milk or saliva)
