About S03.2

S03.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for dislocation of tooth. It belongs to category S03 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of head), block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S03 (dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments of head), S03.2 is specifically for dislocation of tooth. Related codes cover dislocation of jaw (S03.0), dislocation of septal cartilage of nose (S03.1), sprain of jaw (S03.4), sprain of joints and ligaments of other parts of head (S03.8) and sprain of joints and ligaments of unspecified parts of head (S03.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
