Dental Emergencies. Injury On occasions children may injure themselves affecting the mouth. If an adult tooth is knocked out the sooner it is re-implanted, the more likely it is to embed itself back into the gum. If a child has sustained a facial injury this will be assessed by the first aider in school. Who will follow the advice given by NHS choices as below: This is for adult teeth only; children’s baby teeth should not be implanted. The tooth should be handled by the top white part (the crown) and avoid touching the root. Do not scrape or brush the tooth. If the tooth is dirty, it should be rinsed with milk or a saline (salt water) solution and placed back into its socket in the mouth as soon as possible. The tooth should not be rinsed with water or alcohol. When the tooth is back in its socket, ask the child to bite down onto a clean piece of material (such as a handkerchief) or a wet tea bag to keep it in place. If the tooth cannot be re implanted it should be held between the cheek and gum until the child can manage to see a dentist, or store the tooth in a clean container and cover it with milk or a small amount of saliva. Chipped or broken teeth should be reported to parents / guardians in line with the school accident policy where non emergency appointments can be made.

Dental Emergencies. Knocked – out tooth This is for adult teeth only; children’s baby teeth should not be re-implanted. On occasions children may injure themselves affecting the mouth. If a tooth is knocked out the sooner it is re-implanted, the more likely it is to embed itself back into the gum. A knocked-out adult tooth can usually be saved by putting it back in place or in milk as soon as possible, before seeing a dentist If a child has sustained a facial injury this will be assessed by the first aider in the setting who will follow the advice given by NHS choices as below: If it's an adult (permanent) tooth: • Hold it by the white bit that sticks out of the gum (the crown). Do not touch the root. • Lick it clean if it's dirty, or quickly rinse it in cold running water for no more than 10 seconds. • Try to put it back into the hole in the gum. If it does not go in easily: • put it in milk • put it in saliva – by spitting into a container (if it's your tooth) or having your child spit into a container (if it's their tooth) • hold it in your cheek until you see the dentist – but do not have younger children do this in case they swallow it • If it goes back in, bite down gently on a clean cloth to hold the tooth in place. If it's a baby tooth: • do not put it back in – it could damage the tooth growing underneath. Chipped or broken teeth should be reported to parents / guardians in line with the school accident policy where non emergency appointments can be made. Parent / guardians should be informed immediately so that a dental appointment can be made. For help finding an NHS dentist and dental emergencies – Tel: 111 or visit NHS 111 online.
