What Is Considered Dental Trauma?
Facial (or dental) trauma refers to injuries that impact the face, jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures, often resulting from accidents, sports injuries, or falls. At Brookwood Endodontics Tuscaloosa, Dr. Adam Powell specializes in addressing facial and dental trauma with experienced care. A traumatic dental injury, such as a fractured or displaced tooth, requires prompt attention to restore function, prevent complications, and maintain oral health. If you've experienced facial or dental trauma, contact our Tuscaloosa, AL office to ensure you receive the care you need for a full recovery.
How Is Facial Trauma Treated?
Facial trauma is treated based on the type and severity of the injury, with a focus on restoring both function and appearance. Treatment may involve stabilizing broken or displaced teeth, repairing fractures in the jaw, or addressing soft tissue injuries to the gums and face. In some cases, restorative procedures like root canals, dental crowns, or even surgical interventions may be necessary to repair the damage. Advanced imaging, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, is often used to assess the injuries and guide treatment planning.
What Are the Benefits of Treating Facial Trauma?
Treating facial trauma promptly helps restore oral function, improve appearance, and prevent long-term complications. Benefits include:
- Restored ability to chew and speak properly
- Prevention of infection or further damage
- Enhanced facial aesthetics and symmetry
- Preservation of natural teeth and jaw structure
- Relief from pain and discomfort
- Reduced risk of long-term oral health issues
- Improved confidence and quality of life
- Support for proper healing of tissues and bones
- Prevention of complications like malocclusion
- Protection against chronic conditions like TMJ disorders

Personally working in the Dental field, I was HIGHLY impressed with the great care my son received from Dr. Powell and his amazing staff! We received the same service and care that I strive to give my own patients... Thanks for everything!!

I had been dealing with excruciating pain in my mouth for a long time and I was referred here by my primary dentist. I was nervous at first, but everyone here was so incredible. They got me in for a last minute appointment and stayed late to help me out. Numbing injections normally don’t work on me, so dental procedures have always been a nightmare. But Dr. Stephen Thomas is a miracle worker and made it where I barely felt anything. 10/10.They just need an office cat and it would be my new favorite place!
I received wonderful treatment from every employee that I encountered, on the phone, and in the office. I have used them in the past, and if needed, I will choose them again in the future.
