Dental Trauma in Children
Treatment
Quick and proper intervention in dental trauma caused by falls, impacts, or accidents in children is critically important.
About the treatment
Dental trauma in children includes damage to teeth resulting from falls, impacts, sports injuries, or accidents. These traumas can manifest as tooth fracture, crack, displacement, complete avulsion, or injury to the gums and jawbone. Trauma to primary teeth requires special attention as it may affect the underlying permanent tooth buds. Intervention within the first 30-60 minutes after trauma, especially for avulsed permanent teeth, significantly increases the chances of success.

Frequently Asked Questions
My child's tooth fell out completely, what should I do?
If it's a permanent tooth, hold it by the crown without touching the root, store it in milk or saline solution, and go to the dentist immediately. The first 30 minutes are critical. If it's a primary tooth, replantation is not performed but examination is still necessary.
Should I keep the broken tooth fragment?
Yes, keep large broken pieces in a wet cloth or milk. In some cases, the fragment can be bonded back to the tooth.
Can primary tooth trauma affect permanent teeth?
Yes, severe primary tooth trauma can affect the developing permanent tooth buds underneath. Therefore, every trauma should be evaluated.
My child's tooth changed color after trauma, is this normal?
Darkening or graying of the tooth may be a sign of nerve damage. Dentist examination is required.
How can I protect my child before sports?
Using a custom-made mouthguard (sportguard), especially in contact sports, significantly reduces the risk of trauma.
