What should we do if we injured
our teeth accidentally ?
- If you have fractured a tooth, you should find the tooth part that
has broken off.
- Inform your parents immediately.
- Go to a dental clinic immediately so that the dentist can check your
teeth in detail.
- The dentist will treat your teeth accordingly.
If the entire permenent tooth is knocked out, we should treat
the situation as follows:
-
Pick up the tooth immediately by its crown without
touching the root. Use half of a glass of water or milk to gently
rinse the dirt off from the root. Do not wash or scrub it.
-
Ask an adult to put your tooth back into its original
position according to the alignment and shape of your teeth. Bite
your teeth gently to stabilize the tooth.
-
If there is any difficulty inserting the tooth
back into the socket, immerse the tooth in either milk or saliva of
the injured person in a container.
-
Inform your parents, and ask them to bring you
to a dentist immediately.
Remember, the quicker the treatment, the better the chance for the tooth
to be saved! |
