When Is Dental Trauma An Emergency?


Dental trauma can be a serious and painful ordeal. A dental injury may occur from something as simple as getting hit in the face while playing a sport, or taking a fall headfirst. In many cases, treatment requires dental trauma emergency medicine and procedures beyond an average filling or crown. If you’ve never experienced a dental injury, it may be difficult to gauge the severity of the damage.

The professionals at Greater Endodontics can provide the emergency dental trauma services you need — anytime you need. Our 24/7 emergency hotline and use of cutting edge technology makes us one of the leading endodontic experts in the industry.

Here are some types of dental trauma that require an emergency trip to an endodontist.

What Is Dental Trauma?


Dental trauma is classified as a severe injury to the mouth. This can include any damage to your teeth, gums, lips, tongue, and jawbone. While a small cavity may not be labeled as a dental emergency, a broken or avulsed tooth (in which a tooth has been entirely dislodged from its socket) would be considered severe dental trauma and requires immediate dental trauma emergency medicine and treatment. These types of injuries are rarely life-threatening, but they are undoubtedly painful and can cause dental health issues and cosmetic concerns for the patient.

Types Of Dental Trauma

A dental trauma emergency can come in many forms and may result in severe pain and infections if not treated. Some of the most common types of dental trauma can include:

Your head isn’t the only part of your body that can receive a concussion. A tooth concussion is perhaps the mildest injury your mouth can receive, but it is still considered dental trauma if the concussion is severe. Dental concussions occur when a tooth is hit with significant force, but the tooth remains whole and with enough periodontal ligament support to stay inside its socket. A concussed tooth will not normally require emergency treatment, but it can result in temporary or permanent discoloration. If the tooth turns a dark color or black, this may mean that the tooth is dying and requires immediate endodontic care.

Chipped teeth are another less severe dental injury. Many chips can be repaired with a simple filling and cap. However, if a fracture is extreme it may extend to the roots, exposing the pulp of the tooth. A root canal treatment is usually required to save and restore function to the tooth.

With this type of trauma, the tooth is not entirely removed from the socket. Instead, it has been dislodged most likely as a result of being pushed sideways out of or into its socket. In order to save the tooth, endodontic treatment is necessary to reposition and stabilize the tooth. If the pulp of the tooth has been damaged a root canal must be started in addition to medication followed by a permanent root canal filling or crown placed at a later date.

When a tooth is avulsed, it means that it has been knocked entirely out of its socket. Some of the tooth root may remain in the socket if it has been fractured. The tooth may be saved if treatment and dental trauma emergency medicine are received quickly after critical steps are followed. Pick up the tooth by the biting surface, do not touch the roots, and gently rinse. If possible, place the tooth back into the socket or in a glass of milk in order to prevent it from drying out. Depending on the length of time the tooth was out and how it was stored, an endodontist may be able to replace the tooth and stabilize it with a splint. After the splint has been in place for a period of time a root canal will be necessary.

A horizontal root fracture is less common and the healing success largely depends on where the fracture is located. The closer a fracture is to the tip of the root, the greater the chance of success is. Stabilization and medication may be required to begin the healing process followed by the eventual root canal to repair damaged pulp.

Dental Traumas That Require Immediate Attention

Immediate dental trauma emergency medicine in Riverton is required in cases of dental injury where the inner soft tissue, or dental pulp, has been damaged. A thorough dental examination from a Utah endodontics specialist will help to ease pain and ensure the patient’s dental health.

Great staff and service. If you have dental anxiety I recommend their services as the staff were very compassionate and fun. Also, I had laughing gas during my root canal which helped my anxiety so much!

The office staff were very efficient and attentive to my needs. I appreciated doctor Casper and his assistant explaining what was taking place during my procedure. I felt relaxed and confident in his ability of my treatment. Thank you Greater Endodontics for a wonderful experience.

If you find yourself in need of an Endodontist this is the place to go! Dr. Brimley and his staff not only do EXCELLENT work but are also kind humans.

Very pleasant people, receptionist called me by name when I walked in for second visit. Dr Larson was very thorough and told me everything that was happening
— Lee Wirthlin, Posted March 27th 2025 on google
Dr. Brimley performed quality work when redoing a root canal (done by another endodontist) that had gotten infected. He is very meticulous about cleaning the root area, disinfecting it, and sealing it. I hope this root canal will last - time will tell. He also has very friendly office staff and competent assistants.

In and out quickly, very good service and kind people to work with

I had a root canal on a back molar. I came in having pain in another tooth. I was impressed that Dr. Casper could find the exact tooth causing the pain. I felt very confident in Dr. Casper. He included me in the details of the procedure. No pain during the procedure. It was very reassuring. Evelyn, his assistant, was ...
— Betty Lords, Posted March 21st 2025 on google
Dr. Rhett Casper is amazing. He found what no other dentist has found. They missed one of the roots when they did a root canal procedure. That saved me 5k in implant and bone graph procedures. Definitely worth me getting a second opinion here.
— Brian Thomas, Posted March 21st 2025 on google
Had a root canal procedure done yesterday by Dr Brimley. It was so slick and easy. I appreciated his humming, knowing he was relaxed and comfortable. He put the shot in so slow I didn’t feel anything. I’ll definitely be referring people to him. The rest of the office was also so nice and made sure I was comfortable...
— Kristen Comarell, Posted March 13th 2025 on google
I was treated very well, made comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Everyone was kind and professional. I was scheduled for a later date but got on the cancellation list and was able to get the procedure done a week early. Dr. Brinkley knows his stuff!!! Thank you for making this difficult time much more enjoya...
— Cathy Hoesch, Posted March 12th 2025 on google
I saw Dr. Larsen for a surgical procedure. He was so awesome! After the numbing I didn’t feel a thing. I can’t wait to see the end result. Big, big + is the infection will finally clear up. Thank you Dr. Larsen! See you Monday for stitches removal.
— Jodie Wines, Posted March 12th 2025 on google
Dr. Casper was absolutely amazing!
— Emina, Posted March 9th 2025 on google
First root canal. It's never a pleasant experience when someone has hands and sharp tools in your mouth. I have to say, this was the best dental experience I have ever had. They made it as painless and stress-free as possible.
— Russ Fellows, Posted March 9th 2025 on google

— Henry Rudolph, Posted February 27th 2025 on google
I have had three root canals done here by Doctor Casper. Their financial people explained the bill with transparency. Each experience was quick and efficient, and Doctor Casper answered my questions with compassion. Can't recommend this place enough.
— Paden Carter, Posted February 27th 2025 on google
