Dental trauma refers to any injury affecting the teeth, surrounding gums, or supporting bone structure. It can happen in an instant — a sports collision, an accidental fall, a car accident, or a sudden blow to the face — and the consequences for your teeth can be serious if not treated quickly by the right specialist.
Dental trauma injuries range from chipped or cracked teeth to teeth that have been pushed out of position or completely knocked out of the socket. In many cases, the damage extends beyond what is visible to the eye, affecting the delicate pulp and nerve tissue inside the tooth.
Endodontists are uniquely qualified to manage dental trauma because their training focuses specifically on diagnosing and treating conditions inside the tooth. Dr. Jyotsna Sundar has the expertise to assess the full extent of your injury, stabilize the affected tooth, and develop a treatment plan that gives you the best long term outcome.
