What is a traumatic dental injury?

Dental injuries often happen when you’ve experienced an injury to your face or mouth during sports activities, however, they can also occur while:

• Eating hard foods like nuts and crushing ice chips
• Grinding and clenching teeth while asleep, when stressed or concentrating
• Heavy lifting at the gym
• Falls
• Car accidents

Dental injuries include teeth that have been:

• Chipped
• Dislodged
• Fractured
• Knocked out

If you have a traumatic dental injury in NYC, it’s important to seek treatment quickly to:

• Increase the chances of saving the tooth
• Lessen the risk of infection
• Reduce pain and swelling
• Begin treatment to support the healing process

My injured tooth is discolored. What can be done?

Sometimes a tooth that requires root canal treatment is discolored from the infection or trauma on the tooth. Because the discoloration is on the inside of the tooth instead of on the outer enamel structure, traditional whitening treatments maywill not be effective.

At New York Endodontics Studio, Dr. Jamie Y. Lee, may be able to restore the color of your tooth with internal bleaching during the root canal therapy process. In contrast to traditional tooth whitening, where whitening agents are applied to the outside of the tooth, internal bleaching is completed from the inside out.

Benefits of internal bleaching:

• It is a safe treatment that provides predictable whitening results, even on a dark tooth.
• The procedure can be completed during the root canal procedure.
• Unlike implants, veneers and crowns, internal tooth whitening conserves the tooth structure.
