Traumatic dental injuries often occur in accidents or sports-related injuries. Treatment depends on the type, location and severity of each injury. Any dental injury, even if apparently mild, requires examination by a dentist immediately. Sometimes, neighboring teeth suffer an additional, unnoticed injury that will only be detected by a thorough dental exam. Oral surgeons usually are involved in treating fractures in the supporting bone or in replanting teeth that have been displaced or knocked out.
The key to know what to do with an injured tooth is to assess the damages involved--this is best done with an examination and x rays from a qualified dentist. There may still be a need for healing time and then reassess as well. The damage can be to any part of the tooth or surrounding supportive bone and soft tissue. See a dentist soon to know what your injuries consist of and what options or concerns lay ahead--Good Luck!

Thank you very much for your question. I totally see on your your pictures what you are saying. It is very natural for teeth to have some translucency. The matter of fact we as dentists like translucency on the incisal edges. It transmits youth and young age. A lot of patients though do not l...
