About Dentoalveolar Trauma

These serious dental conditions not only affect the teeth but also extend to the alveolar bone of the maxilla and mandible, as well as the surrounding soft tissues. Dentoalveolar trauma, which refers to injuries involving the teeth, the bone surrounding the teeth, and the adjacent soft tissues, is a common and serious issue that can arise from accidents, sports injuries, or other trauma. Such injuries can lead to tooth fractures, dislocations, or even loss of teeth, as well as damage to the supporting bone structure.

Dr. Nevins and his entire clinic team are outstanding. I’m generally terrified of things like this, but they went above and beyond to make both myself and my parents feel comfortable every step of the way.
