What should I do if my child’s front teeth are knocked out? These tips can help you

Children are more naughty and like to play, but because they lack self-protection awareness, they often fall down. It is easy for them to knock out their front teeth after falling. This situation seems to be very common. So what should parents do after their children knock out their front teeth?

1. Seize the golden 30 minutes. Within 30 minutes is the best time to replace a fallen tooth. If it exceeds 2 hours, the success rate of tooth repositioning will be greatly reduced.

2. Pick up the fallen teeth. After the tooth is completely dislocated, the first thing to do is to find the fallen tooth, hold the crown, and rinse the stains on the surface of the tooth with running water. Pay special attention to the following: first, do not scrape the surface of the fallen tooth with your hands or sharp objects; second, when holding the crown, be careful not to touch the tooth root.

3. Keep fallen teeth moist. To keep the fallen tooth alive, it is necessary to keep the periodontal membrane on the root surface active, that is, keep the tooth moist. After picking up the tooth, do not wipe it with paper towels, but put the fallen tooth in milk, saline, or put the fallen tooth back into the mouth. After arriving at the hospital, immediately hand over the fallen tooth to the doctor.

4. You need to see a doctor to take a dental X-ray to check whether the lower tooth roots are injured. If the tooth root is broken, the tooth has to be extracted; if the tooth root is not broken, it can be slowly restored to stability. Recommendation: If there is no problem with the tooth root and the dental nerve is not damaged, you can consider using light-cured resin to fill the broken part of the tooth to restore the beauty; if the dental nerve is damaged, root canal treatment is required first, and then resin filling can be used. When I grow up, I will consider getting a porcelain crown to repair the broken tooth.

5. The child's condition is caused by trauma. It is recommended that he first go to the dentistry for disinfection, and then take anti-infection drugs to prevent infection. Generally, penicillins are used for a long time, such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, and ticarcillin. In addition, a four-year-old is in the period of tooth replacement. If the deciduous teeth are knocked out, there is no need to worry about it because permanent teeth will grow out. If you think it is ugly and affects your appearance, you can install dentures.
