Being prepared to treat a dental emergency until you can reach an emergency dentist for help is important. For this reason, every vehicle should contain an emergency first aid kit. Ensuring that your kit contains gauze and saline will allow you to treat most dental emergencies temporarily.
Impact Trauma
If the tooth is fully out, moisten gauze with saline or water to prevent sticking, place it over the gap, and bite gently to stop bleeding. Rinse the tooth in saline or water and transport it in cold milk or tucked in the cheek pocket. Avoid handling the tooth by its root to maximize chances of successful replacement. Swift and careful action increases the likelihood of a positive outcome during dental treatment.
