How quickly after a car accident can you determine that a tooth has to be extracted?
First of all, when I see patients who have been involved with car accidents, immediately after the car accident, you’re not really thinking so much about your tooth. You’re thinking about your spine, your neck, your brain. After a serious car accident, the ambulance will rush the victim to the hospital to stabilise the patient, to make sure that there are no major injuries to the body, brain, or spine. So by the time all these other body injuries are settled, then the tooth is kind of secondary importance.
What is the prognosis for extrusion of a root canal-treated tooth under 2mm?
If you have a root canal-treated tooth that has failed, you can extract it. I mean if it is a hopeless case, there’s no way of saving it, you have to extract it. But the problem with extracting root canal-treated teeth is that they are very weak and brittle. So when the dentist tries to extract the tooth, there’s always a chance that the tooth may shatter and it may break or fracture. Extracting wisdom teeth could be simple if the dentist is skilled and is able to remove the tooth in one piece but if the tooth breaks or fractures, it becomes a very difficult extraction.
