Management of Injury to Children's Permanent Teeth
Recent studies indicate that 25% of Americans between the ages of 6 and 50 years have experienced traumatic injury to permanent teeth. Ninety percent of traumatized teeth involve the upper incisors. The focus of contemporary treatment of dental traumatic injuries is conservative management of the affected tissues to maximize their excellent healing potential in children. The most important element in this process is the reduction of the time interval between the traumatic episode and the dental treatment. Dental treatment should therefore be sought immediately. It is for this reason that public information on dental trauma management is so critical, particularly in the following three areas.
Coronal Fractures -- Broken Crowns of Teeth
The predominant treatment goal in tooth crown fractures includes protecting the underlying pulp (nerve tissue) within the tooth from bacterial contamination and infection. Additional goals include keeping the adjacent teeth from moving into the space created by the missing tooth portion and restoring the esthetic appearance and function of the traumatized tooth.
Dental treatment of crown fractures involves the following steps. The affected teeth and surrounding soft tissues are cleansed with an antibacterial mouthwash and the exposed dental hard tissues are protected with either an applied protective medicament or an adhesive resin material. These measures provide a seal against bacterial penetration into the porous tooth structure and subsequent infection of the underlying pulp. A resin (plastic) restoration of the lost tooth portion is placed for esthetics and function. In cases where the missing tooth fragment can be found, it can be reattached to the remaining tooth portion with dental adhesives. The treated teeth are then monitored post-operatively for signs of possible infection over a period of several months to a year.
Tooth Displacement Injury -- Loosened or Dislodged Teeth
The predominant treatment goal for displaced teeth focuses on protecting the supporting tissue known as the periodontal ligament from bacterial invasion and subsequent infection resulting from the injury. This tissue surrounds the root of the affected tooth and has the primary function of attaching the tooth to the bone.
Dental treatment includes stabilizing the excessively loosened or displaced tooth by means of short-term splinting. The splinting device consists of an orthodontic brace wire attached to the affected tooth and adjacent teeth with resin adhesive for a one to two-week period. Additional treatment may include esthetic restoration of tooth portions damaged by the injury as previously mentioned, and post-treatment monitoring for signs of healing.
Tooth Avulsion -- Teeth That Have Been Knocked Out
Treatment goals for knocked-out teeth are focused on enhancing periodontal ligament survival. The critical variable is the length of time that the tooth has been out of the mouth without any means of providing hydration and nutrition to the periodontal ligament cells attached to the avulsed root surface. This time length is known as Extra-Oral-Dry-Time (EODT). If the EODT is less than one hour, the chances for periodontal ligament survival is quite good, provided the appropriate management is started immediately.
Dental treatment of avulsion involves minimizing the EODT by immediately replacing the tooth back into the socket or immediately placing it in a transport/storage solution to hydrate and nourish the periodontal ligament cells still attached to the root. The most readily available transport media is cool milk. Special tissue culture fluids are even better, but generally are available only from a dentist, drug stores, or school health clinics. On-site tooth avulsion management includes the following:
1) Rinse the knocked-out tooth under tap water only if there is dirt.
2) Replant the tooth in its socket and keep it held in position, or place it in milk (or culture fluid, if available).
3) Immediately take the child to a pediatric dentist who will stabilize the tooth with splinting devices previously mentioned and provide the necessary treatment of the pulp and the periodontal ligament.
The more we can do to enhance the excellent healing potential of the traumatized tissues in children, the better the outcome.

How Your Family Dentist Can Boost Your Child's Grades
That's right - you read that headline correctly. Regular trips to the family dentist may improve children's grades. He won't tutor them in history or teach them their times tables. In fact, he probably won't teach much of anything beyond how to brush and floss, and chances are he won't quiz them on that any time soon. Still, regular trips to the pediatric dentist could improve your child's academic experience. Do we have your attention?
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children miss more than 51 million hours of school per year as a result of pediatric dental problems and related conditions. What's more, dental pain can distract students, cause their school work to suffer and lead to absences. In general, those with healthy teeth are more attentive in class, participate more in school-related activities and have better attendance. All of this spells better grades and a better all around education, thanks to regular child dental care, exams and education.
One of the most important exams your child can pass is the one performed by his or her family dentist, but you still have to do your part. Teach your child to floss once a day and brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, assuming he or she is old enough to use one. Also, a healthy diet will not only boost concentration, but result in healthier teeth and gums. Beware of frequent snacking and repeated exposure to sugary or acidic treats. Most importantly, be sure children attend their dental appointments at least twice a year. Pediatric dentists provide ongoing oral health assessments that will prevent dental conditions - not to mention school absences.
