ORTHODONTIC EMERGENCY : Do you face any emergency in orthodontics?

Tooth or dental trauma is injury to the mouth, teeth, soft oral tissues or jawbones.

Tooth trauma can be caused by sports, car accidents, fights, falls, biting on hard foods/objects and drinking hot liquids.

Injuries affecting the mouth and teeth are often quite painful, resulting in bleeding, lacerations and/or punctures.
