dental injury from a car crash.

A car accident can cause significant, painful, and often expensive dental injuries. If you hit your face during the car wreck or if you experience any mouth pain after the collision, then you should see a dentist as soon as possible for a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Four Dental Injuries to Watch For

Some of the specific dental injuries you could suffer include:

  • Dental avulsion. A dental avulsion means that a permanent tooth has come out of your mouth.
  • Tooth dislocation. A tooth dislocation or luxation means that a permanent tooth has become loose.
  • Broken tooth. A tooth that is fractured, chipped, or cracked is an injury that requires treatment to prevent future problems.
  • Temporomandibular joint damage (TMJ). The temporomandibular joint connects the jaw to the skull. Damage to the joint can result in significant pain and limited motion.

A dentist can make a proper diagnosis and recommend the right treatment plan. Treatment could include but is not limited to surgeries, medications, root canals, tooth extractions, dental implants, dental devices, physical therapy, and other dental procedures.
