Broken teeth: good reflexes

Dental trauma, the tooth is broken or not, is always an emergency. More effectively support is faster, the chances of recovering the tooth in good working condition are great. In practice, when the tooth was expelled under the effect of the shock, it must be replanted within 20 minutes. The child may keep his mouth on contact with saliva, awaiting the intervention of the dentist.

It must of course be careful not to swallow. For this purpose, it can be wrapped in gauze for example. Other supportive environment to transport the tooth, milk or saline solution, which saves a few extra minutes.

Respond quickly

If the tooth is broken and only a fragment can be reattached, it should, again, to keep the piece “in the mouth”. The circumstances are so ideal and repair almost immediately, especially if the fracture of interest to the pulp. There are now adhesives and composites to pick up the fragment or restore the tooth if the piece has been lost.

Radiography are necessary anyway to ensure the integrity of adjacent teeth. We can thus eliminate the possibility of a fracture of the root even if the teeth are apparently not broken. It is not about waiting for the end of the day to deal with it if the accident occurred in the morning: any dentist you wish to upset its program for this reason.

Good reflexes.

When the tooth has been expelled, she is back in place after disinfection and restraint (that is to say an asset) is performed with a small wire held by the composite operation close to the restraint of a joint. If the teeth are necrotic and die, they are usually in the six months following the shock. This justifies monitoring visits at regular intervals until two to three years after the trauma. A color change is not a good sign.

Finally a dental trauma is never trivial, it affects the baby teeth or permanent teeth. The permanent tooth germ may suffer expulsion or intrusion of a tooth. If, however, nothing has been done on this tooth and if an abscess occurs, the germ is also vulnerable.

Dental trauma is a public health problem and it affects a large number of children and prevention of complications is possible … provided they are informed. As evidenced by these figures: 20 to 30% of children aged 12 have a trauma in permanent teeth and one third of preschool children have already suffered trauma to the teeth, or teeth, often linked to learning walking, household accidents or play yard …

The teeth most often are broken incisors and canines of the upper jaw.
