Resumen

Dental Trauma refers to injuries to the lips, teeth, gums and supporting bone due to accidents such as falls, injuries, or assaults. (1) Readiness for treating dental trauma is of upmost importance in Federal Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) which serve medically underserved populations, often including children, low-income individuals, and those without regular access to dental care. (2) Although dental trauma may not always be the top priority in primary care settings, its consequences can be severe and long-lasting, particularly when treatment is delayed.
