“Stabilising a traumatised tooth is saving not only the tooth, but also the child's confidence and smile.”
Dra. Ana Mimoso
Splinting technique after trauma
The splinting technique after trauma is a procedure used to stabilise teeth that have suffered fractures or displacements due to accidents.
This immediate intervention is essential to increase the chances of tooth recovery, reduce pain and preserve the child's chewing function.
Splinting technique after trauma at GSC Dental Clinic
At Gambelas Smile Clinic, this treatment is performed by paediatric dentists with experience in paediatric oral traumatology.
Whenever necessary, we perform diagnosis with digital radiology and intraoral scanner, for greater precision and comfort throughout the process.
Beyond the clinical intervention, we offer clear recommendations to parents for post-trauma care, and we closely monitor recovery.
This multidisciplinary approach ensures not only the preservation of the tooth, but also the tranquillity of the family, and reinforces trust and safety in delicate moments.
