DenTek Home Dental First Aid Kit for repairing lost fillings or securing loose caps, crowns or inlays (packaging may vary) with spade tool

Product Information

In almost every home, there is a first aid kit kept in a safe place for emergencies. We want to keep our families safe all the time, but what about dental first aid kits? Tooth trauma and emergencies are just as important as any other physical emergency you may experience. If a dental emergency happens at home, in the playground, or in the pool, you need to have all the important information and tools with you. Adult AEDs can be used on children over eight years old. However, some devices have paediatric pads and settings that make them more suitable for younger children. This allows for effective and measured treatment regardless of patients’ age or size. These adjustable AEDs should be considered for practices that regularly treat children. Temparin Max will set softly in your mouth within a few minutes, but avoid chewing on the repair for 2-3 hours to allow the material to fully set. Selecting the Right Container: Find out the suitable container options for your dental first aid kit, ensuring it is portable, organized, and easily accessible during emergencies.

A great little emergency kit, perfect for those time when you need to fix your teeth but you cannot visit the dentist for a while. Teeth are one of those things that we don’t really think about, aren’t they? They help us eat, we brush them, and that’s just about it. Unless, however, you get a problem. Roll bandages: These can be used to hold dressings in place and help put added pressure on wounds until medical attention can be sought. They can also be used to support a joint in the event of a likely sprain or break and can stop swelling. Additionally, they can be used to create splints either from another limb or from another type of support. There are different types of roll bandages including open-weave roll bandages, conforming roll bandages, support roll bandages and self-adhesive roll bandages.

Mixing the solution can be a problem. This fix comes in two parts – you have to mix a powder and a gel. This can cause problems, and you may have a little trial and error before you figure out how to do it properly. Saturate the tip of a fresh cotton swab applicator with liquid from the Eugenol vial and apply to tooth. The Eugenol will help the filling material set up and adhere to the tooth enamel.

Comes with tools. When you are dealing with small holes inside your mouth, you need small tools that can get to the area easily – the specially designed applicators included in the kit can reach the problem areas in your teeth with no problem. Not ideal for filling holes near the tongue. This kit is perfect for cavities inside the tooth, but for holes near the moist tongue area you will need specialist intervention. Place the crown, cap, or inlay on the tooth and bite down, applying pressure to push it into position. Orajel – to ease the pain more effectively, you can use Orajel ointment. It can provide instant temporary relief for soft tissue damage. Families will have an emergency, and they may involve their teeth, gums, and tongue. Sometimes, a dentist may be miles away, or your primary dentist is away or busy with urgent patients. Not having a dental emergency kit with instructions and equipment will keep you from handling situations like alleviating pain, controlling bleeding, and keeping your family member comfortable while waiting for a dentist.

We endorse this document and expects registrants to apply this guidance in practice. Equipment requirements – defibrillators and emergency drugs Safety pins: Safety pins have lots of uses, but in a first aid kit they’re most often used to pin tied bandages or slings.

It is recommended that first aid kits in workplaces conform to the required British Standard BS 8599-1. This standard was first introduced in 2011 and was updated in January 2019. It is not law, but it is recommended that workplace first aid kits comply with the standard. Not sure if your injury is a legitimate emergency? Call your dentist at Ideal Dentist for advice. What Should You Put In Your First Aid Kit? I’d been delaying it under the thought process that I was clueless about dentistry and wouldn’t know what to do anyway. Also having a numbing agent because a tooth being pulled with no way to ease pain will be brutal. Having a method to remove blood and spit via suction is a good idea as well.Do you need dental tools in your first aid kit? Yes! Your mouth is just as fragile as other parts of your body and can be injured just as easily. Many people have first aid kits, but few actually have items in their kits that can help them when they’ve lost a tooth or are experiencing tooth pain. Knowing what to put in your first aid kit can help you in the event of a dental emergency. How Can You Tell If You’re Having a Dental Emergency? Being prepared for emergencies, dental or medical, is important. Aside from knowing first aid techniques, you should also have the correct tools to administer dental first aid correctly. Why a Dental First Aid Kit Is Important As well as life-threatening conditions, there are other situations that can occur in a dental practice that will require prompt first aid treatment, such as broken bones, sprains, cuts and burns. In every dental practice, it is recommended that there are at least two named first aiders who can deal with accidents and emergencies and who have an in depth knowledge of emergency treatment. Any member of staff in the dental team can become a named first aider. Sanitary products: Whilst most women are prepared, there is always the chance that someone is caught short and needs sanitary protection. Whilst this isn’t necessarily a first aid product, having a supply of sanitary towels and tampons can greatly help support those in need in an emergency where access to products is not available. If the crown has a post attached to it or if there is tooth surface remaining inside the crown, Temparin Max may not adhere.

Gloves – before aiding another person’s teeth, you have to make sure you are wearing gloves. Keep latex or vinyl gloves in your kit to be able to treat anyone safely
