Broken Tooth Treatment Options
Immediate Triage and Assessment
Upon arrival, patients are quickly assessed to determine the severity of the injury. We prioritize life-threatening or high-risk cases and begin stabilization right away.
Digital Imaging and Diagnosis
We use high-resolution digital X-rays and 3D imaging to evaluate injuries to teeth, bones, and soft tissues. This helps us identify fractures, root damage, or dislodged teeth with precision.
Pain Management and Stabilization
Our top priority is relieving your pain and preventing further damage. We administer local anesthesia or sedation as needed and stabilize injured teeth or jaw structures before continuing treatment.
Emergency Treatment Plan
Based on the injury, we develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include:

Dental Trauma Care Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Always handle the tooth by the crown (the top), not the root. If it’s dirty, gently rinse it with water—don’t scrub or use soap. Try to place the tooth back in the socket immediately. If reinsertion isn’t possible, keep the tooth in a container of milk or your saliva and seek emergency dental care right away. Getting to our clinic within 30 minutes gives us the best chance of saving the tooth.
How are facial cuts and lacerations inside the mouth treated?
We carefully clean the area, remove any debris or tooth fragments, and use precision suturing techniques to reduce scarring. Because the mouth heals quickly, proper wound care is crucial to ensure normal function and appearance. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection.
Do you accept insurance for dental trauma cases?
Yes, we work with most major dental insurance providers, including Medicaid. We’re also experienced in handling workers’ compensation claims for job-related injuries and can provide detailed reports for legal or medical documentation. Our team can coordinate care with medical professionals for complex trauma cases to ensure comprehensive treatment.
Your Safety Is Our Priority
Our trauma protocol ensures you receive the right care, right away—so you can heal faster and protect your long-term oral health.
