Dislodged Tooth

A loose or dislodged tooth is a common dental trauma emergency. One of the most common questions asked regarding dislodged teeth — how quickly should it be re-secured? The quick answer is the sooner, the better.

Whether a tooth has become slightly loose or is wholly dislodged, they always benefit from having it re-attached as quickly as possible.

Thankfully, the skilled endodontists at Greater Endodontics are experts at handling dental trauma emergencies. We also provide emergency hours so your smile can be fixed as soon as possible.

What is a Dislodged Tooth?

A tooth is considered dislodged when it is partially out of the socket, or when it has been pushed into the gum. Dislodged teeth are not the same as knocked-out or avulsed teeth.

There are several ways a tooth can become dislodged. These include but are not limited to:

A fall onto your face, chin, or jaw
An accident while playing sports
Being hit in the face with a hard object
A punch to the face

How Can I Tell if a Tooth is Dislodged

With a dislodged tooth, you may notice the tooth feels loose and it may be difficult to bite down on food. Gums around the tooth may be swollen, and you may notice some bleeding.

In some cases, you may be able to see the tooth has shifted slightly out of place. If you have any doubt about whether or not your tooth is dislodged, contact your dentist or an endodontist immediately to determine if there is a more serious dental emergency.

First root canal in over 20 years and I have high anxiety when I go to the DDS. The staff was very friendly and my bill was over $250 less than originally quoted. Dr Casper & his assistant were amazing! I was highly impressed which when it comes to dental work is saying alot! I will definitely recommend Greater Endodon...

— Justin Woodward, Posted February 14th 2023 on google

Wonderful staff and doctor was very quick, gentle, and thorough!

— Ayn Larson, Posted December 29th 2022 on google

If you need a specialist for root canals, definitely come here. I've unfortunately have had to come here on two different occasions, due to different teeth. I had Dr. Rhett Casper work on one tooth and the second time I've gone, Dr. John Barrett. They both did a wonderful job on the tooth that they worked on. The staff...

They were quick efficient and painless. Highly recommend.

— Daniel Shaw, Posted December 5th 2022 on google

Dr. Casper was a magician! My first root canal at a different dental office was total torture. This one with Dr. Casper was a breeze! I even fell asleep a few times, never thought that would happen. I didn’t feel anything the entire time, not even the initial numbing. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

— Jocelyn Fiefia, Posted July 13th 2022 on google

Got a root canal with Dr Barret and it went super well. I’ve had a root canal before and the entire process was so long and painful; the numbing stopped working half way through and it was a nightmare. But this place did a great job! Great staff, great work, they worked with me and my anxiety, and overall I now trust...

— Tania Molinar, Posted June 9th 2022 on google

I’m so glad I came here for my root canal. The whole staff was so friendly and welcoming - and worked well with me and my insurance who decided not to cover to root canal. They helped me with a payment plan that was simple and easy. Dr Casper is the most gentle dentist I’ve ever been to. It was my first root canal ...

— Julia Jenson, Posted March 18th 2022 on google

Dr. Brimley was excellent. No pain at all. My root canal was easy.

— Jeremy Huntley, Posted January 28th 2022 on google

My review will be a little different from all the others posted here because I am a retired dentist. I practiced for 43 years in California as a general dentist before retiring to Utah. I have done many root canal treatments and I have seen many patients who have had root canals done elsewhere. I self-referred myself ...

— Alan Stott, Posted January 11th 2022 on google

Great service and very attentive. Super happy with the work they did and how helpful and aware they are of their patients.

— Chris Wright, Posted October 7th 2021 on google

I was pretty worried about getting my first root canal but it was a great experience I felt nothing at all. Also the staff is all really nice.

— Kylee B, Posted September 3rd 2021 on google

Greater Endodontics is very well-managed with highly professional staff and Drs. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was taken care of immediately. Everything was explained to my understanding and satisfaction. The procedure was pain free and thorough. I will highly recommend this state of the art office to anyone...

— Christal McLean, Posted August 10th 2021 on google

I don't think anyone ever looks forward to root canals. But I received my second root canal last year from Dr Casper and it was amazing how much the burdens, pains and annoyances I'd experienced in my first one were reduced. Dr Casper is amazingly good at minimizing pain and discomfort. It was a root canal, but it was ...

— Ethan Pearson, Posted June 1st 2021 on google

I did my root canal with Dr. Casper and literally the best Endodontics ever!!! I love him!!! No pain and was very patient and sweet with me! Super nervous at first with a lot anxiety but he was so great to calm me down and worked on my tooth like champion. I trust him a lot! Best ever!

— Catherine Lindsay, Posted September 10th 2020 on google

Dr Casper was amazing! I had to get a root canal, and I am someone extremely anxious about dental work. The procedure was pain free and Dr Casper was very kind and polite. Even though getting a root canal sucks, Dr Casper made it the best experience it could be.

— Mike Vermillion, Posted August 5th 2020 on google

Dr. Casper was amazing. Extremely kind and concerned, thorough and caring. He found the source of my bottom jaw pain even though the tooth causing trouble was on the top! He personally followed up with me several times after I had a rough time during a root canal. The front desk ladies were perfectly kind and compete...

— Stormie Walston, Posted July 21st 2020 on google

First time in over 15yrs I havent had to ask for more anesthetic in the middle of the dental procedure. Staff are very friendly and professional, and even though i arrived late they still saw me and completed the appointment same day. I would recommend this copper creek endodontrics to anyone who asks.

— Dominic Welch, Posted July 14th 2020 on google

I loved being in Dr. Casper's office today very good doctor very kind and very cordial and his assistant Kelly is amazing. And beatiful person. I recommend it 100% they had a lot of patience with my little English.😊😊😊 Thank you so much!!

What are the Most Common Dental Emergencies?

Dental trauma is any injury to the teeth, gums, or supporting structures in the mouth. While the severity of dental trauma can range from mild to severe, dental emergencies involving oral tissue need to be taken seriously and evaluated immediately.

The most common dental trauma emergencies include:

Tooth Fracture

This includes minor chips or cracks to severe fractures that leave the tooth in several pieces.

Avulsed (Knocked-Out) Tooth

This is when a tooth is completely knocked out of its socket.

Dislodged Tooth

This is when a tooth is partially knocked out but still attached to the gums.

Improperly Erupted Permanent Tooth

A permanent tooth may erupt through the gums at an improper angle, causing it to become impacted and damaged.

Luxation (Tooth Displacement)

This occurs when a tooth has been knocked out of its socket but has not become entirely loose. The two main types of luxation are intrusive and extrusive luxation. Intrusive luxation occurs when the force from a blow knocks a tooth back into its socket, while extrusive luxation occurs when the pressure causes a tooth to become partially dislodged from its socket.

What are Treatment Options for a Dislodged Tooth?

A tooth completely knocked out of the mouth is a dental emergency that requires immediate treatment. When a tooth is entirely dislodged, the chances of saving it are best if it can be replaced within 30 minutes.

The treatment options for a dislodged tooth in Riverton depend on how long it has been since the injury and whether there was damage to the soft tissues or bone around the tooth. In some cases, your dentist can splint the tooth in place for two weeks and hope that it heals on its own. Sometimes your dentist will need to perform surgery to stabilize and protect the tooth during healing.
