Welcome to First Aid Course Dental Injuries

Dental Injuries:

First aid for the broken tooth:
Clean the bleeding wound with saline or clean tap water
Stop bleeding by applying direct pressure to the injured area with gauze or cotton
Handle the tooth by the crown, NOT the root (i.e. do not handle the part that was beneath the gum)
Place the tooth in milk, or clean water if milk is not available
Contact the dentist or take the tooth and victim to an emergency care center as quickly as possible
