If you have a child, you know better than anyone that\naccidents happen. You can\u2019t predict when they will, but there are always a few\nthings you can do to be prepared for when they strike. Dental emergencies are\nno exception. That\u2019s why your children\u2019s dentist in Tappan has written this\nguide on what to pack in a dental emergency kit should your child ever have a dental emergency.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

If your child ever starts bleeding from their mouth, you\u2019ll\nneed something to stop the blood flow. Have them bite down gently on gauze or\ncotton balls to slow down the bleeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

You never want to touch your child\u2019s mouth with a dirty\nhand. That could spread germs that may lead to infection. Instead, pack some\none-size-fits-all medical gloves that will allow you to examine your child\u2019s\nmouth if necessary. You\u2019ll also need them to handle any knocked-out pieces of a\ntooth in an emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking of examining your kid\u2019s mouth, there are a lot of\nthing that are pretty hard to see with the naked eye, such as several angles in\nthe mouth. That\u2019s why you should invest in a dental mirror that will allow you\nto take a closer look at your little one\u2019s pearly whites should the need arise.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Sometimes a toothache is the result of an object, like a piece\nof food, being caught in between the teeth. The object can occasionally be\nremoved by rinsing with warm water, but if that doesn\u2019t work, then try using\ndental floss to dislodge it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orabase <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orabase is a paste that works as a local anesthetic when\napplied to ulcers, sores, or other areas of pain in the mouth. It\u2019s not recommended\nfor children under the age of two, and can be dangerous when applied more than\nas directed on the package. However, in case of a severe toothache or mouth pain,\nkeep some in your emergency kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain Relievers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Other kinds of pain relievers can include an ice pack, ibuprofen,\nand Orajel. In general, you shouldn\u2019t use aspirin, as it can be unsafe for children.\nMoreover, never place aspirin directly on the problem area, as it can seriously\nirritate the gum tissue and make the problem worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t always predict when a dental emergency will occur,\nbut you can follow these steps in packing an emergency kit. It could mean the\ndifference between losing and saving your kid\u2019s tooth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
