Sports Tooth Injuries: Dental Emergency

Sports and physical activities, while essential for health and well-being, occasionally lead to unintended dental injuries. Sports tooth injuries require urgent attention, whether it's a collision on the football field, an elbow during a basketball game, or a misjudged catch in a baseball match.

Common Sports Tooth Injuries Include:

  • Dislodged (luxated) teeth.
  • Avulsed (completely knocked out) teeth.
  • Fractured or cracked teeth.
  • Soft tissue injuries involving lips, cheeks, or tongue.

Immediate Action:

Rinse & Avoid Touching The Root: If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse any debris but avoid touching the root. Try to reinsert it into its socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or a saline solution.

Apply Cold Compress: Use it to minimize swelling in the injured area.

Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers can be taken (as per recommended dosage) if there's discomfort.

Protect The Mouth: If bleeding, bite on a clean cloth or gauze. Our clinic's sports dentistry experts are trained to handle these situations adeptly, ensuring minimized long-term damage and a quick return to your sporting passion.
