Handling Dental Injuries Such as Fractured Teeth
First Aid Tips
After identifying a dental emergency, knowing how to manage it is crucial. For instance, if a tooth gets knocked out, immediate action can save it. Firstly, find the tooth and pick it up by the crown. Avoid touching the root. If dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline solution but do not scrub. Try to reinsert it into the socket. If that’s not possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or saliva until you reach a dentist.
