Not all dental injuries cause immediate pain, but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless. Cracks, chips, or trauma to the mouth can result in long-term damage even if everything feels fine at first. At Glenmore Park Dental, we encourage patients in Lakeview, Glenbrook, Acadia, Marda Loop, and Glamorgan to play it safe and get checked after any dental trauma. In this blog, we explain why you should see a dentist after an injury, what symptoms to watch for, and how early treatment can save your tooth (and your wallet). Contact Glenmore Park Dental today for compassionate, same-day dental injury care in SW Calgary — even when it doesn’t hurt.
Biting your tongue during sports, getting hit in the face, or falling on your chin, happens. Sometimes there’s immediate pain, but in other cases, your mouth might feel totally fine. That’s where people get caught off guard.
Just because a dental injury doesn’t hurt right away doesn’t mean it isn’t serious.
Cracks, hairline fractures, root trauma, and nerve damage often start silently, and by the time you feel symptoms, the tooth may be beyond saving.
At Glenmore Park Dental, we treat patients across Marda Loop, Glenbrook, Lakeview, Acadia, and Glamorgan who’ve experienced dental injuries with or without pain. If you’ve recently taken a hit to the mouth, get it checked early.
Teeth can crack or become slightly mobile from trauma, and you might not feel it until:
Even small cracks can let in bacteria that lead to decay, infection, or the need for a root canal down the road.
