Now let’s come to the actual discussion regarding the things to be remembered when there is a dental injury. So here are those points and make a note of it:
1) By using your finger or by just looking you check your teeth following an accident to your mouth/face.
2) Identify if there is any missing teeth or fragments of teeth nearby.
3) Remember that you must only touch the crown (visible part) of the tooth.
4) Never rinse or wash the tooth or its fragment with anything and not even water.
5) If possible you better store the tooth or its fragment in the milk or if the person is conscious or cooperative you can just ask him to keep the fragment or tooth under his tongue.
6) Finally you have to consult the dentist as early as possible and get the appropriate treatment. Remember that tooth which is broken or knocked has a chance of getting re-implanted successfully only if it is done as soon as possible. The ideal time for this is half an hour.
