Dental Care for Sports Injuries

Protecting Your Smile from Unexpected Sports Accidents.

Root Canal in Snellville

Sports activities, while beneficial for health, can sometimes lead to dental emergencies. At Dental Emergency Center, we specialize in promptly addressing sports-related dental injuries to ensure you get back to your activities safely and swiftly.

Common Sports-Related Dental Injuries:

  • Tooth Fractures: Impacts during sports can cause teeth to chip, crack, or break. Immediate evaluation is essential to determine the extent of the damage and appropriate treatment.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsed Teeth):A forceful blow may dislodge a tooth completely. Quick action increases the chances of saving the tooth.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: • Soft Tissue Injuries: Lacerations or bruises to the lips, cheeks, or tongue are common in sports and may require prompt care to prevent infection and promote healing.

Immediate Steps to Take Following a Dental Injury:

1.  For Tooth Fractures:

  • Rinse your mouth gently with warm water to clean the area.
  • Apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth to reduce swelling.
  • Contact our office promptly for an emergency appointment.

2.  For Knocked-Out Teeth:

  • Handle the tooth by the crown (the visible part), avoiding touching the root.
  • Gently rinse the tooth with water if dirty, without scrubbing.
  • If possible, place the tooth back into its socket without forcing it.
  • If reinsertion isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or a tooth preservation solution.
  • Seek immediate dental care, ideally within 30 minutes of the injury.

3.  For Soft Tissue Injuries:

  • Clean the area gently with water.
  • Apply a cold compress to control bleeding and reduce swelling.
  • If bleeding persists or the injury is severe, visit our office or an emergency room promptly.

Preventive Measures:

  • Wear a Mouthguard: Using a custom-fitted mouthguard during sports can significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries.
  • Maintain Regular Dental Check-Ups: Routine examinations help ensure your teeth are in optimal condition and can withstand potential impacts better.

At Dental Emergency Center, your safety and oral health are our top priorities. If you experience a dental injury during sports, don’t hesitate to contact us immediately. Our team is equipped to provide the urgent care you need to restore your smile and get you back in the game.
