Dental injuries can occur unexpectedly and may require immediate intervention. However, injuries or emergencies involving teeth may necessitate prompt and effective first aid, followed by professional care from a qualified dentist. There may be a tooth fracture or partial tooth loss or in severe cases there can be a complete tooth loss. In such cases, as emergency first aid, control the bleeding from gums or dental injuries, use a clean gauze or tissue. If bleeding doesn’t stop, ask for medical help immediately. Visit the dentist immediately after an injury to get an early intervention. For complete tooth loss, save the tooth in saline or cold milk, get it to the dentist. The tooth can be fixed in its place using a procedure called as splinting. Splinting connects the loose teeth with a special material or wires to stabilize them.
