Dental injuries
Injuries to the face and mouth can affect one or more teeth. These teeth can be affected by the following ways.
Teeth are moved from their original position
The tooth or teeth may be pushed back up into the gum, pushed backwards or sideways. Try to move the teeth gently back to their original position and softly close the front teeth on a cloth or tissue.
Teeth are cracked, chipped, or fractured
If you can find the fractured tooth fragment, take it with you to the dentist. In some cases, this can be reattached to the tooth.
Teeth become loose
See a dentist for them to find out why the tooth has become loose. If a tooth has fractured, this can be one of the causes for it becoming loose.
No matter what type of trauma occurs, it is best to visit your dentist as soon as possible.
