Broken teeth: good reflexes
Dental trauma that the tooth is broken or not, is still an emergency. Indeed more care is faster, the chances of recovering the tooth in good working condition are great. In practice, when the tooth was removed under shock, it must be re-within 20 minutes. The child can keep it in his mouth, in contact with saliva, pending the intervention of the dentist.
It must of course be careful not to swallow it. To this end, it can be wrapped in gauze for example. Other favorable environment for the transport of the tooth, milk or saline solution, which saves a few minutes.
Reacting quickly react quickly
If the tooth is broken and that only a fragment can be glue, it should again keep the piece "in the mouth." The circumstances are ideal and repair almost immediately, especially if the fracture interested pulp. There are now adhesives and composites for recoller fragment or rebuild the tooth if the piece was lost.
X-rays are in any way necessary to ensure the integrity of adjacent teeth. It can eliminate the possibility of a fracture of the root even if the teeth are apparently not broken. There is no question of waiting for the end of the day for them if the accident occurred in the morning: no dentist do you want to upset its program for this reason.
Good reflexes Good reflexes
When the tooth was removed, it is replacing after disinfection and then a contention (i.e. an asset) is performed with a small wire maintained by the composite operation close to the contention of a joint. This justifies surveillance visits at regular intervals until two to three years after the trauma. A color change is not a good sign.
Finally dental trauma is never banal, it affects the baby teeth or permanent teeth. The tooth germ may ultimately suffer the expulsion or the intrusion of a baby tooth. If, moreover, nothing has been done on this baby tooth and an abscess occurs, the germ is also vulnerable.
The dental trauma is a public health problem, it affects a large number of children and prevention of complications is possible provided to be informed. Evidenced by these figures: 20 to 30% of children 12 years of trauma have a permanent teeth and one third of preschool children have suffered trauma temporary tooth or teeth, often linked to learning of travel, accidents or domestic games yard.
The teeth most often are broken incisors and canines of the upper jaw.
