Physical harm to the teeth, gums, alveolar bone, or soft tissue of the mouth, including the lips and tongue, is referred to as dental trauma. Dental trauma encompasses a wide range of injuries, including the following:
The majority of dental trauma cases are the result of an accident, such as a fall, a vehicle collision, or participation in sports. Some cases are the result of involvement in violent occurrences, such as fighting or physical abuse.
The type of treatment is determined by the nature of the trauma. Mouth and tooth injuries should be evaluated by a dentist, especially if a tooth has gone loose or has incurred damage. When a tooth is damaged, the adjoining teeth may suffer injuries as well, which are not usually obvious unless a dental checkup is performed.
