Trauma to teeth/gums: It's extremely important that you see your dentist right away. Trauma to teeth can result in fractures to teeth and other dental problems that you might not be aware of. After examining you and taking some x-rays to be sure, your dentist can tell you what to expect, if you need follow-up visits and how long it will take for everything to get back to normal.
