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
I can not say enough good things about the staff and Dr. Saltzman. They helped me get into the office for a root canal that had been bothering me for weeks. I am a nervous patient. They were so kind, patient, and explained everything. I truly highly recommend!
This is my second time using their services and both times were 5 star experiences. The last and most recent experience was an emergency root canal. The entire staff - from the receptionist, nursing staff, and Dr. Shapiro - was professional, helpful, and empathetic. I went to the office on a Monday morning after suffering through a miserable weekend, and they were able to get me in that day to perform a root canal. This place is fabulous!
Dr. Shapiro is a magician. He is kind, caring, and shows genuine concern for your comfort and well-being. He is a phenomenal endodontist that is highly skilled at his craft. This practice is accommodating and seems to truly care about its patients, and I cannot say enough good things about it.
Today’s procedure ( osseous surgery ) was no different than my other dental procedures at Western Ma. Perio. I was nervous & Dr. Salzmann provided the reassurance!He is genuinely compassionate , caring & professional. Dr. Salzmann & his entire team provide exceptional skilled services…talking you through each step of the procedure. If there is an award for exceptional performance, it should be presented to Dr. Salzmann ! Thank you .
I recently had a procedure done at Western Mass Endodontics with Dr. Shapiro, and I felt it was worth taking a moment to share my experience.Like many people, I went in with some hesitation given the nature of the procedure. However, Dr. Shapiro handled everything with a level of care and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was how seamless and virtually painless the process was, particularly the injections, which are usually the part most people dread.He took the time on the front end to answer questions thoroughly, and just as importantly, made sure everything was addressed afterward as well. That kind of attention to detail and follow-through is not something you see every day. The same goes for the follow-up later that day, which really speaks to the level of commitment to patient care.The office staff was equally professional and supportive throughout the entire visit, which made a noticeable difference in the overall experience.I don’t tend to be easily impressed, but this was one of those situations where it felt warranted. If you find yourself needing this type of care, you’re in very good hands here.Thank you! John

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.
