Fall Tooth Injuries & How We Can Fix Them!

Fall is a season filled with outdoor activities, hearty snacks, and cooler weather, but it can also increase the risk of tooth damage. Whether you’re biting into an apple at a fall festival or taking a tumble during a weekend football game, tooth injuries can happen. 

At Charlotte Family Dentistry, we’re here to repair and save your smile!

Accidents During Sports or Outdoor Activities

Fall is a popular time for sports like football and soccer. These contact sports can lead to chipped or knocked-out teeth. If you’re participating in outdoor activities, be cautious and wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth. 

If an accident does occur, visit Charlotte Family Dentistry immediately for emergency care.

Cracking or Chipping from Seasonal Snacks

Fall brings delicious but tough-to-eat treats like caramel apples and popcorn. Biting into these hard foods can crack or chip a tooth. If you experience damage, we offer dental crowns or bonding to restore the look and function of your tooth.

Tooth Damage from Grinding or Clenching

The fall season can also be stressful with the back-to-school rush or holiday planning. Stress-related habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) can wear down your teeth. At Charlotte Family Dentistry, we can provide a custom nightguard to prevent further damage.

No matter how your tooth is injured this fall, we have the solutions to save it! Schedule an appointment today to ensure your smile stays healthy and strong throughout the season. Call us today at 704-247-6499 to schedule an appointment in Charlotte, NC. You can also request an appointment online.
