Oral Problem:
Our patient had tripped over while jogging earlier that day and broke her front tooth.
Treatment:
A thorough assessment was done to check for any other injuries to the teeth, soft tissues of the mouth and jaw joints. The patient and I then selected the colour of the filling together to match the front tooth, and a composite filling ( tooth colored filling ) was placed. A record of the incident and injuries were made to be sent to ACC.
How long it took:
After the injury assessment and filling, the patient was able to leave with her restored smile after just over an hour.
This work was completed at the Papakura branch of Smile Dental.
