Broomball accident sidelines engineer with dental surgery
A stick to the face during a broomball game knocked out three top incisors and broke a bottom tooth, according to a personal account from aphyr.com. The incident has led to a multi-step dental recovery process.
Injury and treatment timeline
The injured player spent a couple of hours in surgery last week to stabilize and reimplant some damaged teeth. Yesterday morning, a follow-up procedure removed shattered roots and a third avulsed tooth. Next week's schedule includes a root canal on the bottom tooth followed by a crown.
Implants are expected to begin soon, with recovery potentially taking a few months depending on whether a bone graft is needed. The patient reports little pain, just slower eating and torn lips that are healing quickly, with hopes to return to full activities shortly.
