A knocked out, cracked, or displaced tooth is a true dental emergency. At Citrus Heights Endodontics, Dr. Jyotsna Sundar provides urgent, specialist dental trauma care to give your injured tooth the best possible chance of survival.
Dental injuries can affect the tooth, root, or surrounding tissues. Dr. Sundar can evaluate the injury and recommend endodontic care when needed.
Cracked or fractured teeth that may involve the root or inner pulp of the tooth
Knocked loose or displaced teeth that need prompt evaluation and stabilization
Tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity after an accident, fall, or sports injury
Root injury or infection after trauma that may require endodontic treatment
Dental trauma cases are handled with urgency and thoroughness at Citrus Heights Endodontics. Here is what the process looks like when you come to us after a dental injury:
Dr. Sundar will examine the injured tooth or teeth, take X-rays to assess the full extent of the damage, and evaluate the health of the surrounding tissue and bone. She will explain her findings clearly and outline the treatment options available to you.
Depending on the type and severity of the injury, Dr. Sundar may reposition and splint a displaced tooth, place a temporary restoration over exposed pulp, or begin root canal therapy to address infection or nerve damage right away.
The appropriate endodontic treatment is performed based on the nature of the injury. This may include root canal therapy, pulp capping, or other specialist interventions to preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.
Dental trauma often requires careful monitoring over time. Dr. Sundar will schedule follow up appointments to track the healing of the injured tooth and intervene early if any new concerns arise.
After the acute phase of treatment is complete, Dr. Sundar will coordinate with your general dentist to ensure the tooth receives any final restorative work needed to fully protect and restore its function.
Dr.Sundar and her team are amazing! Everyone was so kind and professional. The front desk was super helpful and welcoming, and the back assistant made me feel really comfortable. You can tell they all care about their patients. Highly recommend!! 💕💕
I had a great experience at Citrus Heights Endodontics. The staff was very kind and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They were excellent with scheduling—very organized and respectful of my time. The procedure itself was performed professionally and efficiently, and everything was explained clearly. I truly appreciated how smooth and comfortable the entire process was. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing endodontic care!
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sundar and her team. She is highly professional and incredibly transparent about every step of the procedure. I recently had a root canal done, and the process was smooth and stress-free. Dr. Sundar took the time to walk me through everything beforehand, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed. On top of that, the office staff was kind and accommodating, making the entire experience even better.
Pick the tooth up by the crown and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with clean water if it is dirty. If possible, try to reinsert it into the socket and hold it gently in place while you travel to our office. If reinsertion is not possible, store the tooth in milk or between your cheek and gum to keep it moist. Call our office immediately and get there as fast as you can.
In many cases yes. The outcome depends on the location and severity of the crack, whether the pulp has been affected, and how quickly you seek specialist care. Dr. Sundar will assess the tooth thoroughly and give you an honest evaluation of the options available.
Yes. Many dental trauma injuries cause internal damage that is not immediately painful. An endodontist can identify problems on X-rays that are not yet symptomatic and address them before they develop into more serious complications.
No referral is needed. If you or a family member has suffered a dental injury, contact our office directly at (916) 586-8746 and we will get you seen as quickly as possible.
Dental trauma requires immediate specialist attention. Do not wait to see if the pain goes away on its own. Contact Citrus Heights Endodontics as soon as possible after a dental injury and give your tooth the best possible chance of being saved.
