Dent torn or dislocated tooth: it is urgent

A final tooth was pulled can be repositioned by the dentist and thus stay alive. But attention, the rescue of the tooth is possible only if we intervene in extreme emergency. And finally, two conditions must be met.

Shocks

By playing the teeth of children are often exposed to shocks. Inflating the lip and bleeding is usually the only visible symptom. Yet sometimes, the shock may cause internal injuries which are not. 

A baby tooth can sink into the jaw and damage the germ underlying tooth final for example. Or, in shock, a final tooth can damage the neighboring teeth.
It recommends consulting a dentist in doubt to quickly verify gravity caused by shock.

The dislocation of a tooth

A shock can also cause the dislocation of a tooth, the dislocation of its location. A tooth pulled may ultimately be returned to its place and be saved. We must know and act in an emergency. Why? Because once uprooted, the tooth has a life extremely short. Furthermore, it should be preserved and manipulate according to rules.
Namely: the probability of saving the tooth is good if it is re-within thirty minutes. In addition, the success decreases when the tooth is not kept in his cell.

1) The first thing to do is obviously to get the tooth. But be careful not to seize especially not by the root. We must catch it by the side of the tooth: for the crown. It must never touch the root, at the risk of damage.

2) Ideally, it should immediately gently reposition the tooth in its socket, before running to the dentist. Before the re-moisten the tooth with a little saliva or with a little water.

3) If the repositioning of the tooth is not immediately possible, it must be maintained throughout the trip to the dentist, ideally in the mouth on contact with saliva. Otherwise, in a glass of saline or milk.
