What Is Dental Trauma?
Facial trauma can happen to anyone, whether as a result of a sports-related injury, an auto accident, or even an everyday mishap. Trauma can lead to all types of dental problems, including damaged or knocked-out (avulsed) teeth, cuts, and even a broken jaw. When these injuries occur, it's crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible to restore comfort and prevent oral health complications. If you have recently suffered an oral injury, we urge you to schedule an emergency appointment at Baldwin County Endodontics in Fairhope, AL to discover how we can help. Our team, led by experienced endodontist Dr. Christopher McManus, will assess the damage and recommend a treatment plan to repair your smile.
How Do You Treat Dental Traumatic Injuries?
The details of your dental trauma repair plan will depend on the severity of your injury. During your consultation, we'll use our office's advanced cone-beam CT scanner to capture precise images of your teeth and jaw, which will allow Dr. McManus to tailor your treatment plan to your needs. For minor injuries (like cracked teeth), we can repair the tooth at our office. In some cases, surgery could be required, especially if your jaw has suffered a major injury. Extensive injuries may require multiple appointments and treatments to repair. Our team will go over all of your options and let you know what you can expect so you can make the most informed decision for your oral health.

Baldwin County Endodontics Reviews
2 very good experiences with Dr McManus and his staff.
Extremely impressed - Dr McMantus is a kind caring man. It shows in the work he does. I feel very fortunate to be able to see him. He works with us Veterans and grateful to him for it. He is talented and gentle. His staff is as outstanding as he is.
They set appointment date which was two weeks later. I asked to call me if they had a cancellation and they did. I was seen on 1/19/22 which was only a few days after the initial call.
Family oriented! Excellent Staff! When I came in was nervous! When I left, Calm and for me that's saying alot! Highly recommend!
