Most parents keep a first aid kit lying around the house\njust in case of general medical emergencies. But are you prepared in case your\nchild has a dental emergency? One in four children will experience dental\ntrauma at some point in their childhood, usually when it\u2019s least expected. How\ncan you be prepared for that situation? A children\u2019s\ndentist<\/a> in Grafton has written this guide on how to create a dental emergency\nkit for your son or daughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Medical Gloves <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before reaching into your little one\u2019s mouth, it\u2019s best to\nput on gloves. This will help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Mirror and Flashlight <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The human mouth is a dark place. Using a flashlight and\nmirror will help you deduce what\u2019s going on in there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cotton Balls or Gauze <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These items will help stop bleeding if you press them to the\nsite of the injury. They can also help move the tongue when you have gloves on,\nas it\u2019s quite slippery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Wax <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wax can be a lifesaver in the case of a chipped tooth or a\nbroken braces bracket. Apply it to the problem area to prevent the sharp object\nfrom irritating or damaging the soft tissues in the mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floss <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a toothache is caused by an object or piece of\nfood being caught between the teeth. More often than not, this object can be\nremoved with dental floss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain Relievers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pack some over-the-counter pain medications to help relieve\nyour child\u2019s discomfort. Ibuprofen in particular is excellent at relieving oral\npain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice Pack <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Holding an ice pack to the appropriate cheek can not only alleviate\nyour child\u2019s pain, but it can cut down on swelling that could result in even\nmore discomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save-a-Tooth System <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a tooth has been knocked out, it has only about an\nhour until it\u2019s dead and can\u2019t be reattached. If your child dislodges a baby\ntooth, this usually doesn\u2019t present a problem. Adult teeth, however, should be\nreimplanted as soon as possible. Call your dentist right away, but in the\nmeantime, you can place the tooth in a Save-a-Tooth solution to keep it alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, don\u2019t forget to include a piece of paper with the\ncontact information of your emergency dentist in Grafton! Doing so could mean\nthe difference between your child saving and losing a tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
