What is a Trauma-Related Emergency Tooth Extraction?

A trauma-related emergency tooth extraction is a specific and often more complicated procedure caused by an accident or trauma.

Patients usually come to URBN Dental with damaged teeth from activities like sports or an incident where something has impacted a tooth, or multiple teeth, with force and caused damage.

Unlike a standard tooth extraction, when trauma damages teeth, we usually see that the gums and surrounding tissues also have some degree of injury, making the procedure a more intensive process.

At URBN Dental, we understand that a traumatic tooth extraction can be an extremely worrying and stressful time, and that’s why we pride ourselves on making our patients feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout the procedure.

Why Trauma-Related Dental Injuries Need Same-Day Emergency Treatment

Traumatic dental injuries can be incredibly painful and stressful, but more than that, emergency treatment is essential to prevent potential infections, nerve damage, and further damage, and to stop the surrounding teeth from moving.

If you do require a traumatic tooth extraction, one of our dentists will likely have assessed the blood supply, nerves, roots, and surrounding bone structure before making the decision to remove the tooth.

In some cases, it may be possible to save your tooth with a procedure like a root canal and a crown, but only after X-rays and specialist dental intervention will we decide the best treatment plan for you.

We always do what’s best for our patients, so if you do need a tooth extraction after a dental injury, rest assured it’s the best decision for your long-term oral health.

The Common Types of Traumatic Dental Injuries

Chipped teeth
Cracked teeth
Displaced teeth
Damaged teeth with surrounding soft tissue injuries to the gums, tongue, lips, or cheeks.
Avulsion injuries (the tooth is completely knocked out of its socket).

An avulsion is the most serious type of dental injury that requires emergency same-day treatment. Sometimes, if managed correctly and you have the tooth with you, our dentists can replant and save the tooth.

In cases where a dental injury cracks or chips the tooth and damages the structure down to the root and the jawbone, an emergency tooth extraction might be necessary.

What Happens During an Emergency Tooth Extraction Appointment?

When you first arrive at one of our clinics, your dentist and their team will put you at ease. They will first perform a quick exam of your injury and the rest of your teeth and oral health, looking for signs of further damage away from the main injury site.

You will then have some X-rays to check what’s happened to the underlying structures so that your dentist can make the best decision for your oral health and comfort.

If the tooth is too severely damaged, broken beneath the gumline, severely infected, or too difficult to restore, your dentist will recommend an emergency traumatic tooth extraction.

Throughout the procedure, you’ll be completely pain-free after having a local anesthetic, and your dentist will carefully perform a series of steps to safely remove the tooth.

A traumatic dental extraction is a surgical procedure that might take slightly longer than a standard tooth extraction. You might also experience some pain, bleeding, mild swelling, wound healing in a week or two, and tissue and bone filling in the next few months.

FAQ

Traumatic Dental Extraction FAQs

Quick answers to the most common emergency questions. Don’t see yours? Call us.

It is a tooth removal procedure needed after an accident or injury damages a tooth beyond repair. It can be more complex than a standard extraction because the gums, bone, or surrounding tissues may also be injured.

You should seek same-day care if you have severe pain, bleeding, swelling, numbness, a loose tooth, or a knocked-out tooth. Fast treatment can help prevent infection, nerve damage, and further dental problems.

Not always. A dentist may be able to save it with treatment such as a root canal and a crown, but extraction may be needed if the tooth is broken below the gumline, severely infected, or too damaged to restore.

Get emergency dental care immediately and bring the tooth with you if possible. In some cases, a dentist may be able to replant and save the tooth if it is treated quickly.

The procedure should not be painful because a local anesthetic is used to numb the area. You may have some soreness, bleeding, or swelling after the extraction while the area heals.

Initial wound healing usually takes around one to two weeks. The bone and surrounding tissues continue healing and filling in over the next few months.
