Dentofacial trauma can be a patient’s first experience in a dental office other than routine cleaning appointments. Appropriate management of these cases is critical to maintain a positive association with the dentist, restore function, and promote psychological well-being. This case report describes the management of a 17-year-old female after sustaining luxation of multiple permanent teeth and foreign body embedded within soft tissue.
