OVERVIEW OF TRAUMATIC INJURIES
An injury or trauma to your teeth, soft tissues in your mouth (tongue, gums, and lips) or jawbone may be brought on by a direct strike to the mouth area. Oral injuries can occur playing sports, during an auto collision, or in regular mishaps. Trauma may cause many issues to happen, such as chipped teeth, loose teeth, cuts to your gums, or possibly a broken jaw.
Oral injury treatments will change based upon your specific case. Even if your injury may not look serious or you are not in pain, patients must seek out immediate attention from one of our endodontic specialists to tend to the injury and prevent additional complications. At Western Mass Endo, our team of specialists performs many procedures to fix dental problems that result from injury. Contact our practice immediately following a traumatic oral injury to set up an emergency appointment.
TYPES OF INJURIES
An injury or trauma to your mouth may happen to you at any moment. Your problem might be a chipped or cracked tooth, loose teeth, root fractures, knocked-out teeth, a dislocated or broken jawbone, or cuts on your tongue or gums. Whether you're in pain or bleeding, you should get in touch with Western Mass Endo to make an emergency appointment. We can also suggest methods to store a lost tooth or reduce your discomfort.
Western Mass Endo Reviews
Dr. Odierna and his staff were wonderful! The anticipation of getting a root canal was much worse than the actual procedure. He explained everything and put me at ease. He has an excellent chair-side manner.
Went in on an emergency appointment for evaluation on a molar ended up getting a root canal which was done by Dr Scott. While I’m not nuts about dental visits, I have to say that this man certainly knows what he’s doing. Within 20 minutes of being in the chair, my pain was gone, and he was taking care of business. Now two days later I am still pain free and moving on with life. Very happy to have found this wonderful place. Thank you Dr.Scott!!!!
Today, May 13, I went in for a root canal. I was a bit nervous to begin with. BUT…from the moment Sura called me back, she started explaining everything that was going to happen throughout the whole appointment. Then the Doctor, Randolph Scott D.D.S. came in He was AMAZING as well. He also explained everything first and then did his job very well. They both made me feel so comfortable and before I knew it they were done. He and Sura told me that I would be sore. It’s almost been since the appointment, over eight hours and I have ZERO soreness, not even where he injected me. I have already recommended W MA Endo and I will continue to refer people. A VERY BIG SHOUT OUT TO SURA AND DOCTOR SCOTT! The best dental experience I’ve ever had by far! Thank you
I had an outstanding experience at this office from start to finish. Scheduling my root canal treatment was seamless, thanks to Joy, who was incredibly nice, friendly and attentive. Since I live nearly two hours away, she made sure everything was perfectly arranged before my visit. Elisa was wonderful, offering warm, friendly and great support throughout the process.Dr. Scott is truly exceptional—his expertise, patience, and care made a huge difference. The entire team answered all my questions with patience and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. If you need a root canal treatment, this is the place to go!
Dr. Scott did a root canal for me today. Best dental procedure in my life! A little background on me and dental work, I haven’t had the best experiences and have a history of being difficult to get numb. Dr. Scott was awesome! I didn’t feel one ounce of pain. He is a complete professional and focused on doing a perfect job. He found a crack in my tooth no else told me about. The temp filling even covered the gap between teeth that has been trapping food, which I never told him about. He just instinctively knew to do the best job was to fill that gap. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Scott!!!

TRAUMATIC INJURY CARE
The number of treatments that will be necessary to address your trauma will be dependent on the severity of the injury. A member of our endodontics team will assess your trauma and may take digital images to comprehend the level of the injury. We will subsequently explain and discuss your treatment choices.
Sometimes, surgical intervention is required, particularly for a significant trauma to your mouth. Other cases might only require a simple treatment with little or no anesthesia. A number of procedures may be needed to completely heal the injury. These treatments will be spaced out to permit time for healing.
Whether a minor or major injury, trauma to your teeth, gums, or jaw has to be handled right away to prevent future problems. At Western Mass Endo, we will help you develop the best treatment strategy for your particular injury. To find out more, contact our office to schedule an appointment.
