ABSTRACT Impalement injuries to the oral cavity are common in preschool‐aged children due to their tendency to fall while holding objects in their mouths. A variety of items, including pencils, straws, cylindrical toys, chopsticks, spoons, forks, and toothbrushes, can lead to such injuries. This case report discusses the management of a 4‐year‐old girl who sustained an accidental toothbrush impalement into the left buccal mucosa, demonstrating satisfactory healing during follow‐up visits. Timely management of impalement injuries is essential to avoid severe complications.
