Following initial stabilisation of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) to permanent teeth, follow-up is likely to be required. This is often best carried out in general dental practice, easing barriers to accessing dental care, particularly in rural and isolated communities, and potentially enhancing the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of dental care. It is important that general dental practitioners (GDPs) are aware of which TDI injuries are the more serious and most likely to develop problematic consequences, requiring follow-up and potentially further dental intervention.
