We have talked about the avulsed tooth in the last blog about traumatic dental injuries(click to see the link). However, sometime things go in a different way. The tooth may be pushed inside its socket or moves sideways or even pulled out but not completely. It is still attached to the socket. In this case, go to your dentist immediately, the dentist/ endodontist will reposition and stabilize your tooth.If the tooth has a fully formed root, RCT is usually needed few days later. The tooth will be medicated on the first visit and the RCT will be finished in the second visit. If the tooth root has not been fully formed (As in children Between7-12 years old) since these teeth are developing, they need to be monitored by a dentist/endodontist and he will decide when to interfere with a RCT. New researches indicate that the pulps of young people can be stimulated to complete root growth and heal the pulp following the injuries.
Stay Safe..
