A good emergency dentistry professional can provide immediate treatment for your displaced tooth. This type of dental emergency is often caused by trauma and is common among adolescents and children. Tooth displacement occurs when a tooth is moved from its original position due to trauma. Types include lateral luxation, intrusion, extrusion, and avulsion. Treatment depends on the type and severity of displacement. Extruded and laterally displaced teeth may be repositioned and splinted. Quick action and emergency dental care greatly improve the chances of saving a displaced tooth.
