Expert Care for Dental Emergencies in Dubai
Dental trauma can happen unexpectedly and requires immediate attention to minimize damage and preserve oral health. At The Nook Dental Clinic, we provide prompt and effective care for dental injuries, helping patients recover quickly and maintain their smiles. Led by Dr. Mariam, our experienced team is equipped to handle all types of dental trauma, from chipped teeth to knocked-out teeth, in a calm and supportive environment.
Types of Dental Trauma
Common dental injuries include:
1. Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Often caused by accidents or biting down on hard objects.
2. Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsion): Complete displacement of a tooth from its socket due to impact.
3. Dislodged (Luxated) Teeth: Teeth that are partially moved from their normal position.
4. Fractured Roots: Damage extending below the gumline, affecting the tooth’s root structure.
5. Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or lacerations to the lips, tongue, or gums.
What to Do Immediately After Dental Trauma
Taking the right steps immediately after an injury can greatly improve the outcome of treatment:
1. For a Knocked-Out Tooth:
• Handle the tooth carefully by the crown, avoiding the root.
• Rinse the tooth gently with clean water if it is dirty—do not scrub or use soap.
• Try to place the tooth back into its socket, holding it in place by biting down gently on a clean cloth.
• If re-insertion isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk, saline solution, or inside your cheek until you reach the clinic.
2. For a Chipped or Cracked Tooth:
• Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and pain.
• Collect any broken pieces of the tooth and bring them to the clinic.
3. For Soft Tissue Injuries:
• Rinse your mouth with a mild saltwater solution to clean the area.
• Apply pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to stop bleeding.
• Use a cold compress to manage swelling.
