Traumatic injuries can result in the need for dental treatment. Fractured teeth, displaced teeth, or even a tooth that has been knocked out (avulsed) are common results of dental trauma. Each of these conditions requires specific treatment, dictated by the effect of the injury on the tooth, whether or not the tooth is deciduous (a baby tooth) or permanent (adult), and the time between the injury and treatment. Dr. Ken Tittle and Dr. Mia Tittle are experts at managing the complexities of these injuries.

Treatment may involve many different dental specialists. Traumatized teeth will be continually monitored to ensure proper healing. Dr. Tittle has lectured on traumatic injuries at numerous dental conferences and dental society meetings.

To help you be prepared to take the appropriate action in the event of a traumatic injury to the teeth, you can purchase the ToothSOS application on your iOS® device. It guides a layperson through an initial assessment of the injury and appropriate first aid. One key piece of advice is that if a tooth is ever fully knocked out of its socket, quick placement of the tooth back into that area is vital to the long term prognosis of this tooth. If that is not possible or too painful, the tooth should be stored in saliva or milk until you can reach a dental office.
