Visit a Restorative Dentist in Huntsville After Being in an Accident

As a restorative dentist in Huntsville, we treat a lot of people with damaged teeth from an accident. While we focus on preventative care in our dental office, we know that accidents do happen. Even if you are focused on your oral health, it is crucial to brush and floss twice a day. It is also important to visit our dental office at least twice a year. While there is no real way to prevent something like a car accident that damages the teeth, we can help treat damaged teeth.

Dental injuries are more common than some people think

Patients who think it will not happen to them, need to consider that many youths suffer sports-related injuries every year. Many of these injuries are dental injuries. Thus, having a child wear a mouthguard during the sport is an effective method for protecting the teeth.

Many people visit the emergency room on an annual basis due to slip and fall accidents. Slip and fall accidents can affect both men and women of various ages, resulting in dental damages. Car accidents also claim a lot of victims every year. Anyone in a car accident who hits his or her face on the dash board or steering wheel may suffer a dental injury.

Receive the right treatment from the right place

Keeping that in mind, it is important to see an oral surgeon in the emergency room for any facial damage that involves the mouth. It is also wise to immediately follow up with your general dentist for further restorative treatment options. If an oral surgeon is not available during your emergency room visit, contact your general dentist immediately as most are highly trained in the care of dental emergencies and restorations. Call our office at (256)382-6690, if you have a damaged tooth and would like to meet with Dr. Rene' A. Talbot to discuss your restorative options.
