While most traumatic dental injuries occur in children and teenagers, people of all ages can be affected. These injuries often result from sports accidents, falls, or automobile collisions. Regardless of the cause, the type and severity of the injury determine the appropriate treatment. When dental pulp—the soft tissue inside the tooth—becomes inflamed or infected, endodontic treatment may be required to save the tooth. Prompt care greatly increases the chances of long-term success.
