What are teeth injuries?

The most common injury is when a tooth is jarred or slightly loosened. Often, the only noticeable injury is bleeding from the gums. These minor injuries heal in 3 days. The next most common injury is tooth displacement (usually pushed inward). These may need repositioning and stabilizing. Chipped (or fractured) teeth need to be seen by a dentist. Permanent teeth that are knocked out are an emergency. Baby teeth that are knocked out can’t be reimplanted but the underlying teeth need to be checked for damage.
