Children frequently experience dental injuries while playing or in accidents such as falls. In such cases, prompt and correct intervention is crucial for saving the tooth. At Dehadent, we provide detailed first aid procedures for families in such emergencies.

Types of Dental Injuries

• Broken Tooth: A piece of the tooth breaks off
• Tooth Dislocation (Exarticulation): The tooth is completely removed
• Tooth Dislocation: The tooth is displaced but not completely removed
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts to the lip, tongue, or cheek

First Response Steps

1. Remain Calm and Reassure the Child

Panicking can make the situation worse. Calming and supporting your child is the first step.

2. Assess the Type of Injury

If the tooth is completely removed, it is crucial to keep the tooth clean and moist. If possible, place the tooth in milk or saline solution. Do not leave it dry.

3. Check for Bleeding

Apply gentle pressure with a clean gauze or cotton ball.

4. Do Not Try to Reposition the Tooth

Only if the tooth is dislodged and possible, reposition the tooth carefully. However, professional intervention is essential.

5. Seek Immediate Dentist

Dental injuries are considered emergencies. Quick access to the Dehadent clinic increases treatment success.

Additional Recommendations from Dehadent

• Carefully monitor your child after a dental injury.
