Broken and Injured Teeth in Udaipur
Dental trauma is one of the areas Dental Speciality Centre focuses on — it is part of the clinic's name. If a tooth has been broken, loosened or knocked out, call the clinic on 9309483201 so it can be assessed.
Why prompt assessment matters
An injured tooth is not only about the visible part. The nerve inside it, the ligament attaching it to the bone, the surrounding bone and the soft tissue can all be involved, and none of that is apparent by looking in a mirror.
The condition of those tissues changes with time after an injury. Being seen sooner generally means more options remain open. A tooth that looks intact after a knock can still have been damaged, which is why an apparently minor injury is worth examining.
Injuries that should be looked at
A chipped or fractured tooth. A tooth that has been pushed out of position or feels loose. A tooth knocked out completely. A tooth that darkens in the weeks after an injury. Pain on biting after a knock. Injuries to the gum, lip or tongue alongside a damaged tooth.
Sports injuries, falls and accidents account for most of these, in children and adults alike.
How the clinic approaches it
Assessment first: the tooth, the tissues around it and the bone are examined, with radiographs to show what is not visible. A treatment plan follows from what that shows, and it is explained to you before anything is carried out.
Injured teeth often need review over the following weeks and months, because how the tooth and its nerve respond becomes clear only with time. Follow-up is part of the treatment rather than an afterthought.
If a tooth has just been knocked out
Call the clinic straight away on 9309483201, within consultation hours, and say what has happened so you can be seen. If the clinic is closed, a hospital with a dental or emergency department is the right place to go.
General first-aid guidance for a knocked-out tooth is available from dental associations, but what should be done in your specific case is a clinical judgement. The most useful thing you can do is make contact quickly rather than wait to see whether it settles.
Questions patients ask
My child chipped a tooth playing. Should we come in?
Yes, have it examined. A chip that looks minor can involve the nerve or the tissues holding the tooth, and that is not visible without examination. Call 9309483201.
The tooth does not hurt. Do I still need it checked?
Absence of pain does not mean absence of damage. Nerve injury from a knock can be painless at first and show up weeks later as the tooth darkens. An examination after any significant knock is worthwhile.
Does the clinic see trauma cases outside consultation hours?
The clinic runs Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and is closed on Sunday. Outside those hours, a hospital with an emergency dental service is the appropriate place.
