Teeth loss
One of the most painful accidents that can happen to human body is dental accidents. They really are a horror everyone prays not to go through. Dental here implies the neighborhood of teeth which stat from the tip of the tongue to the end of the tonsils. In case of accidents involving teeth it is advisable and necessary to go to a dentist within an hour’s time. The probability of fixing the injury and the damage done will be really based on the first aid given after the injury and the doctor’s consultation time. Children often loose their teeth to get a new set of permanent ones but unfortunately this miracle happens only once in a life time and teeth are inferior to nails in this particular scenario. One goes through a lot of trauma in these injuries which are not short lived like other injuries and hence the bad implications keep on coming from there on. Not only accidents but decay of teeth and gum disease are widespread today. Edentulous refers to his state of missing one or more teeth or being toothless.
First aid in these cases really is of high importance. In this situations it is only human o panic and hence commit irreversible mistakes which can are irreversible majority of the times. Thus a proper knowledge of what to doing these situations is required; on second thoughts knowledge of what not to do in these situations is required more. First when we see a tooth wreckage first thing we tend o do is to play around with the loose teeth not knowing what to do. Now this is really bad because we might be meddling with the roots of the teeth which is damaged can cause permanent damage to teeth not only wrecked now but also the surrounding teeth. We tend to stroke he broken part which is not advisable. When a tooth comes loose do not hold I under running water just place it in a bowl of water and rinse gently. Placing the teeth in whole milk or our saliva or warm mild salt solution containing ? teaspoon salt to 1 quarter water is to be done in case teeth cannot be put back into the socket in case a jaw is broken or dislocated tie a towel around the head gently so hat there is no jaw movement or minimum jaw moment to reduce the chances of jaw being dislocated and the fracture if any sets quickly. In any of these cases dental assistance is immediately required in our hurry to give first aid there might be a chance we forget to call them. In case of other dental injuries like lip, gums, tongue we must hold on the injury so that blood doesn’t ooze out. For some cosmetic reasons it is required to analyze whether stitches are required for these wounds or not. For example when there are really deep cuts, if even after applying pressure for 15 minutes if blood oozes out, and when scar is likely to develop stitches are required.
First aid when known in this case has to be gently done as these parts are really sensitive and small mistake can cause lot of pain for the patient. And the most important thing to remember is no first aid is better than wrong first aid.
