Following a dental trauma.
Check that the teeth are intact and, if any if one piece is missing (FRACTURE of the crown), look for any fragments that can be reattached. If you can keep them in saline solution, saliva or milk and take them to the Specialist in the Trauma Department, the Pediatric Dentistry or to your trusted Dentist or Hospital Service.
If there is bleeding or displacement of the tooth from its seat, go urgently to the Trauma Department and Pediatric Dentistry Specialist or to the trusted Dentist or hospital emergency unit. If the tooth has suffered a DISPLACEMENT (entire or partial dislocation) DO NOT extract the tooth; it is possible to try immediately after the trauma to push it firmly and gently into its original location.
In the case of DENTAL AVULSION (the tooth is intact “out of the bone and from the gum”, as if it had been extracted) it is fundamental to recover the tooth, DO NOT TOUCH THE ROOT and reach the dentist as quickly as possible. You can keep the tooth in a moist environment (milk, saliva or saline solution) or, better still, reinsert it slowly and immediately in its seat, even partially, before the blood coagulates.
