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.

I saw Dr Casper for a retreat (my 4th root canal, all by different docs). Dr Casper has a nearly pain free numbing technique. Nobody does it quite like him. I felt pressure but no actual pain. If you hate numbing, Dr Casper is your man! Also he told me there was a low-moderate probability of success, but he did so very...

Really amazing people. I was extremely nervous going in but they made me feel much better before the procedure. They were very gentle and patient when answering my quedtions. Doctor Casper is amazing at what he does and I would definitely recommend this office!

— Curtis R, Posted October 3rd 2023 on google

Always great experience. They were very kind gentle and very knowledgeable. I always recommend that you go this route with a root canal first. Two save time and money. Let them do their expertise.

— Rebekah O'Harra, Posted September 29th 2023 on google

Root canal made easy, thank you.

— James Christensen, Posted September 14th 2023 on google

I’be had quite a bit of dental work over the years because of a trampoline accident I had when I was younger and I have really bad anxiety about going to the dentist because of it. I had to get my root canal retreated and was referred here by my dentist. In all the dental work I have had done, I have never felt more ...

— Kaitlyn Malloy, Posted September 11th 2023 on google

Just had a root canal done here and I really couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I was in excruciating pain for a couple weeks before I decided I needed to get this fixed. Dr. Casper was gentle and very knowledgeable. He was dialed in during the procedure and I felt very comfortable with him doing his t...

EVERYONE at Greater Endodontics is amazing but Dr. Brimley was the kindest, most compassionate provider I have ever come across. I wish he was my general DDS! Thank you to everyone that took care of me last week!

— Jadie Kendrick, Posted July 11th 2023 on google

The Other Side Academy organization is so thankful for you and your team. Our students are smiling big because of your generosity.

— Tori Dixon, Posted June 15th 2023 on google

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...

— Michelle Bennett, Posted March 9th 2023 on google

Dr. Casper and his staff were fantastic. They were very patient with me as we worked to find the problem. They then did an sending job fixing it. Thank you

— 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...

— gina bina, Posted December 25th 2022 on google

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.

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.
