Because children are active and mobile, dental trauma is a common emergency. Falls, bumps, or play accidents can cause injuries such as fractures, dislocations, or complete avulsion of teeth. In such cases, prompt and correct intervention is crucial for saving the tooth and preventing permanent damage. At Dehadent, we share what to do in emergency dental trauma situations to protect your children's dental health.

The Most Common Dental Traumas in Children

• Tooth Fracture: Fractures can occur only in the enamel portion of the tooth or deeper.
• Tooth Dislocation (Luxation): The tooth may move slightly or shift.
• Tooth Avulsion (Complete Avulsion): The tooth is completely dislodged and falls out of the mouth.

What Should Emergency Treatment Be?

1. Tooth Fracture

• If any broken pieces are found, they should be stored in a clean container.
• You can rinse your mouth gently with water, but bleeding should be treated.
• See your dentist as soon as possible.

2. Tooth Dislocation or Shifting

• Care should be taken not to move the tooth.
• If there is pain, a cold compress can be applied.
• Dehadent should be consulted immediately.

3. Tooth Avulsion

• The avulsed tooth should be rinsed with clean water; do not rub it harshly.
• The tooth can be kept in milk or saliva (pure water is not preferred).
• Intervention by a dentist within 30 minutes is lifesaving.

Recommendations and Follow-up from Dehadent

• A dental examination is essential after a trauma.
• The tooth root and surrounding tissues are examined with X-rays.
• If necessary, a filling, root canal treatment, or preventative procedures are planned.
• With our child-friendly and sensitive approach, we also provide psychological support after the trauma.
