An opposing player accidentally hit Love's upper front tooth, causing a likely subluxation. Clinically a subluxated tooth demonstrates mobility<b>, </b>pain, and tenderness to touch.<br />
<br />
Radiographically the tooth would need to be evaluated for possible coronal and/or root fracture. Assuming the root and natural crown are not involved, a splint would be placed immediately for 2 weeks to stabilize the injured tooth; the affected tooth is then re-evaluated 2-4 weeks, 6-8 weeks, 6 months, and periodically every year. If the injury causes pulpal injury, a root canal may be indicated. If the injured tooth remains mobile and suffers bone loss, the tooth may ultimately need to be evaluated for a dental implant.<br />
<br />
Sports players should consider, as a preventive measure, getting fitted for a protective sportsguard to help protect against possible injuries to their maxillary dentition.<br />

If the dental prosthesis is not cleaned regularly, infection may develop and result in implant failure.<br />
<br />
Dental implants have become a popular treatment choice to restore missing space that may be placed due to fractured tooth that is not restorable, a tooth with repeated failed endodontic therapy, an abscessed tooth that required removal, a tooth lost due to severe periodontal disease, tooth lost due to accidental trauma requiring emergency dentistry, or to replace a space from a congenitally missing tooth.<br />
<br />
Once the implant is integrated and the implant abutment and crown are placed, the implant needs to be cleaned daily at home. At home, twice a day brushing is crucial to remove surface bacteria, food debris, and plaque. Daily flossing is required to remove plaque trapped between the implant and the adjacent tooth or crown. A water pick is a good supplement to help flush bacteria that may be trapped underneath the gum line.<br />
<br />
At the dental clinic during your checkup and <a href="http://www.bellevuefamilydentistry.com/dental-care-bellevue-dentist/dental-cleaning/" target="_blank">dental cleaning</a> appointment, the hygienist will help flush out bacteria around the implant's gingiva with a high speed water unit. A plastic dental scaler may also be used to hand remove trapped mineral deposits and food plaque in and around periodontal pockets. The plastic dental scaler is intentionally used to avoid possible accidental trauma to the implant from a metal instrument. If the implant is not kept clean, a periodontal abscess may result and require surgery to drain the infection, resulting from peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis can exhibit radiographic <span class="_Tgc">loss of supporting bone and bleeding upon probing. Advanced bone loss can lead to implant mobility, loss and extraction of the implant. At this point you and your dentist can decide if another implant procedure is appropriate. </span><br />
<span class="_Tgc"><br /></span>
<span class="_Tgc">Keeping a dental implant free of plaque and debris is vital to the longevity and success of your implant. If you have any questions, be sure to consult with your family dentist.</span><br />

<br />
Check out my new blog entry regarding the benefits of fluoride in your community's drinking water. Fluoride, in the optimal amounts, has been shown to have great positive mental, dental, and economic effects. Of course too much fluoride is not good (can cause enamel mottling) but just the right amount is beneficial. Read about it here:<br />

A company in Japan has come up with a augmented and virtual reality system to help dental students with their dentist training. It's possible this type of virtual training may becoming to dental schools in the US in the near future. Aspiring future dentists have an exciting future ahead in their dental school education!<br />
