possible injuries and to ensure that no broken tooth fragments are lodged in

the oral soft tissues, eg lips, cheeks, and tongue.

Bleeding Gums- Hoo Swee Tiang

Bleeding gums due to dental injury is not uncommon and can have a wide

range of causes.In many cases, the gum bleeding is due to superficial cuts on

the gums or impact trauma to the supporting tooth ligaments. These can

bleed readily but usually pose no danger to your child. It is important not to

panic in these circumstances and try to render the best possible first aid.

Knocked out permanent teeth- Hoo Swee Tiang

In the event of accidental trauma, avulsion (knocking out) of the adult tooth

usually causes the most alarm to the child and their loved ones. While it is

understandably disturbing, it is important to remain as calm as possible and

take the following steps to increase the chances of a successful replantation

by your dentist.

1) Hold the tooth by the crown and do not touch the root.

2) If the tooth is dirty, wash the tooth briefly (approximately 10 seconds) under

cold running water. Do not scrub the root.

3) Replace the tooth into the socket, or place it in milk. If replaced in the

socket, bite gently on a handkerchief or cloth to retain it in place.

4) Attend a dental clinic as quickly as possible.Web page converted to PDF with the PDFmyURL PDF creation API!

The critical factors for a successful replantation are:

1) The time interval between the accident and when the tooth is replaced in

the socket / placed in milk to protect it.

2) The transport medium the tooth is placed in. The best medium is the

tooth’s own socket.However, other mediums of similar osmolarity as our body

cells, such as milk and normal saline, are acceptable alternatives. In the same

vein, wrapping the tooth in tissue dries up the cells and should not be done.

3) The amount of time lapsed between the accident and when the avulsed

tooth is replanted by a dentist. The sooner a dentist gets to manage the tooth,

the better the chances for a successful long-term outcome. visit Hoo SweeTiang social profile.
