Trauma In Pediatric Dentistry And Sports Dentistry

Post Feature Image

School – aged children tend to fall commonly while playing. This may lead to avulsion/ complete falling out of the tooth from the socket and mobility. For all these we are specialised with splinting. Immobilisation is carried out with the help of a wire which will immobilise the tooth in position till the time it’s again fixed in the socket by the natural process of healing.

Mouth guards can be used which are soft plastic appliance that shape themselves to upper teeth and protects the jaws and teeth of children interested indulged in sports activity.
