There are approximately 5.4 million car wrecks every year that result in millions of people being injured, some of which have mouth or face injuries.
Playing sports is more dangerous than you think considering that over 5 million children are injured every year while playing. The numbers go up exponentially when considering adults. If you play basketball after work without a mouth guard, you could very easily damage your teeth and need a restoration.
Seniors are at the highest risk of being injured in a slip and fall accident, with one out of every three falling annually. There are over 9 million emergency room visits each year due to slip and fall accidents, many of which happen at the workplace, impacting people of all ages. As a provider of comprehensive dentistry in Forest Hills, we regularly treat people that have damaged a tooth during a fall.
When you evaluate the statistics, it becomes highly likely that you or someone in your family will eventually be in an accident and damage a tooth. When it happens, we encourage you to visit our office instead of the emergency room. General physicians are highly trained and will do an excellent job of treating any physical injuries that you have. If, however, you have damaged a tooth, you must visit a dentist because we are the only ones trained in how to diagnose and treat your teeth. When you come in for your appointment, we will examine your teeth and take x-rays to ascertain the full extent of your injuries and then make a treatment recommendation.
As a provider of comprehensive dentistry in Forest Hills, we can provide you with a wide variety of restorative solutions. If you have lost a tooth in an accident, we can replace it using a dental bridge or a dental implant. A bridge is a non-surgical solution that relies on your surrounding teeth to hold the bridge in place using dental crowns. An implant is a surgical solution that is permanent. In this procedure, we place a metal post under your gums and secure it to your jawbone so that a new root system can be created and a new tooth attached to it. If, however, your tooth was only cracked or chipped, we can restore it using a dental veneer or a dental crown. Regardless of what solutions you need, we can help.
