Agartala Government Dental College and IGM Hospital continues to provide comprehensive treatment for a wide range of dental and oral health problems. Patients of all age groups—including children, adults, and the elderly—receive specialized care for various dental and maxillofacial conditions at the hospital.
One of the most important departments of the institution is the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, which focuses on improving oral health among children and adolescents. With the increasing incidence of dental and oral diseases among children, the department is offering treatment using modern technology, advanced methods, and specialized equipment.
The Pedodontics Department has also achieved notable success in the reimplantation of avulsed (knocked-out) teeth, especially in children who have suffered dental trauma during accidents or play.
Among the recent successful cases, one involved a 9-year-old child with borderline autism, whose front tooth had fallen out. The child’s guardians brought the tooth wrapped in paper to the department, where specialist doctors successfully reimplanted it into the jaw socket using proper clinical procedures.
In another case, a 10-year-old child lost a tooth while playing. The parents immediately brought the child to Agartala Government Dental College & IGM Hospital, where specialists from the Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry Department successfully restored the tooth.
A third similar case involved another 10-year-old child who had lost a front tooth due to trauma. The department’s expert doctors once again performed a successful tooth reimplantation.
Specialists from the department emphasized that if a knocked-out tooth is brought within 30 minutes, successful reimplantation is often possible. Until reaching a pedodontist, they advise preserving the tooth in saline solution, milk, or the patient’s own saliva.
Several months after treatment, all the children involved in these cases are reported to be healthy and doing well. The families of the patients expressed their gratitude to the specialist doctors and healthcare staff of Agartala Government Dental College & IGM Hospital for their prompt, skilled, and compassionate care.
