Broken Tooth

A broken tooth can occur as the result of trauma or injury to the mouth, biting down on hard objects, teeth grinding (bruxism), weakened tooth structure, or underlying dental conditions. Additionally, age-related wear and tear on the teeth can also contribute to the risk of fractures.

Seeking immediate dental care is highly important after breaking a tooth. Dr. Souliman at Haverford Smiles will be able to evaluate the extent of the fracture, provide necessary pain relief, and prevent potential complications. Additionally, early intervention can increase the chances of preserving the tooth and exploring suitable treatment options.

Knocked Out Tooth

A knocked out tooth can happen from sports injuries, accidents, falls, or physical altercations. It is important to note that visiting Haverford Smiles immediately after a tooth has been knocked can increase the chances of successful re-implantation.

Dr. Souliman needs to assess the tooth, determine if re-implantation is possible, and take the necessary steps to save the tooth. Prompt dental care significantly increases the chances of saving the knocked-out tooth and restoring oral function and aesthetics.
