Dental trauma refers to injuries to the teeth and surrounding tissues caused by accidents, sports injuries, or falls. Prompt treatment is critical to preserving the tooth.
Traumatic injuries may include:
• Chipped or fractured teeth
• Dislodged (luxated) teeth
• Knocked-out (avulsed) teeth
Injuries to developing teeth in children

Endodontic treatment may be needed to manage pulp damage and prevent infection. Immediate evaluation greatly improves long-term outcomes.
