You\u2019ve heard of a first aid kit, but what about a dental emergency kit? Injuries to the mouth are very common, especially for children. When you\u2019re in a lot of pain, it is most convenient if you already have all of the essentials you need in your own home, but what does that include? Your emergency dentist in Dublin<\/a> shares a list of items that you should keep in your family\u2019s dental first aid kit just in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Medical-Grade Gloves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is good to have gloves on hand just in case someone else needs your help when it comes to their teeth. Using gloves is an important step in order to help prevent the spread of infections and germs. Both latex and vinyl gloves are viable options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cotton Balls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there is bleeding in the mouth, it is good to have some cotton balls or gauze to use in order to apply pressure to the area and make it stop. You should make sure that they are stored properly so they don\u2019t get dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Wax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If someone in your family has braces, they may notice that there can be some irritation to the soft tissues in the mouth when there is a wire or bracket with a pointy edge. You can find orthodontic wax at your local drug store. It helps to sooth this irritation by covering up the trouble spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Floss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have food stuck between your teeth, this can cause some discomfort and pain. By keeping some dental floss in your emergency kit, you will be able to help dislodge it and get some relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By combining salt with water, you can create a mouth rinse. This can help to relieve pain from an infection and dislodge trapped food in the mouth. Salt is a natural disinfectant that can help your body to speed up the healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Mirror<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are someone in your family is dealing with an issue in the mouth someplace where you can\u2019t see, you could probably benefit from a dental mirror. You can even find ones with attached lights, so you won\u2019t need to purchase an extra flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold Compress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve encountered a dental injury and are experiencing pain or swelling, a cold compress can go a long way. It helps to numb the area while also reducing swelling where the trauma has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain Reliever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should keep your preferred over-the-counter pain reliever in order to deal with pain caused by a dental injury. However, you shouldn\u2019t use aspirin because it is an anticoagulant. This means that it can make it more difficult for blood to clot and ultimately make bleeding worse. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen would make better options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It pays to be prepared! By gathering these items and keeping it in a kit for your family, you\u2019ll be ready to tackle any dental emergency that comes your way until you are able to get to the emergency dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
