Trauma/Injuries Treatment at IDS

At IDS, we understand that children are naturally adventurous, which can sometimes lead to dental trauma and injuries. Our experienced team is here to provide prompt and compassionate care to ensure your child’s dental health is restored quickly and effectively.

Common Types of Dental Trauma in Children

Children can experience various types of dental injuries, including:

Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsed Teeth)

Accidents can cause a tooth to be completely knocked out. Quick action is crucial for the best chance of saving the tooth.

Chipped or Fractured Teeth

Falls, sports injuries, or biting hard objects can lead to chips or fractures, affecting both the function and appearance of the teeth.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Gums, lips, and cheeks may sustain cuts or lacerations during an accident, requiring careful evaluation and treatment.

What to Do in Case of Dental Trauma

When a dental injury occurs, swift action can make all the difference. Here’s what to do for common scenarios:

Knocked-Out Tooth

Stay Calm

Reassure your child.

Find the Tooth

Handle it by the crown, not the root.

Rinse Gently

If dirty, rinse it with milk or saline. Avoid scrubbing.

Reinsert if Possible

If you can, gently place the tooth back into its socket.

Store Safely

If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk or saline and seek dental care immediately.

Chipped or Fractured Tooth

Rinse

Clean the mouth gently with warm water.

Control Bleeding

Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth if bleeding occurs.

Seek Dental Care

Visit IDS for evaluation and treatment options.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Clean the Area

Rinse with warm salt water.

Control Bleeding

Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze.

Consult a Dentist

If bleeding persists or the injury appears severe, seek dental care promptly.

Treatment Options at IDS

At IDS, we provide comprehensive treatment for dental trauma to restore your child’s oral health. Our services include:

Reimplantation of Knocked-Out Teeth

We use dental bonding or crowns to restore the tooth’s shape and function while maintaining aesthetics.

Management of Soft Tissue Injuries

Our team will assess any cuts or lacerations and provide appropriate treatment to promote healing.

Prevention Tips for Parents

While accidents happen, you can take steps to minimise the risk of dental injuries:

Use Mouthguards

For children involved in sports or activities with a risk of impact, custom or store-bought mouthguards can protect their teeth.

Supervise Play

Keep an eye on younger children during playtime to prevent accidents.

Educate About Safe Practices

Teach children about safe play and the importance of being cautious during activities.
