Treating traumatic dental injuries starts with gentle, urgent care to stabilize and relieve pain. Local anesthesia is used when needed, and we tailor each step to minimize discomfort. Whether the injury requires splinting, root canal treatment, or observation, we prioritize your comfort throughout the healing journey.
If you've suffered a blow to the face or have a tooth that feels loose, cracked, or discolored, a trauma assessment is critical. At Long Island Endodontics, we evaluate the injury with imaging and tests to determine if root canal therapy, splinting, or observation is the right next step.
Traumatic dental injuries often require more than one visit to stabilize the tooth and monitor its recovery. At Long Island Endodontics, we may begin with splinting or emergency care, followed by further treatment like root canal therapy or evaluations to ensure long-term success and preservation of your natural tooth.
Traumatic dental injuries are often covered by insurance, particularly when emergency care or root canal therapy is required. At Long Island Endodontics, we coordinate directly with your provider to confirm coverage and ensure you receive timely, affordable treatment without surprises during urgent dental situations.
After a traumatic injury, protect the affected area by eating soft foods and avoiding impact or pressure on the tooth. At Long Island Endodontics, we provide customized aftercare plans, including splint maintenance and checkups, to ensure proper healing and help preserve your natural tooth.
