Dr. David Snodgrass DDS Offers Parents Some Dental First Aid Tips

March 1, 2011 By AdminR Leave a Comment

Kids are very active and often precocious individuals, notes pediatric dentist Dr. David Snodgrass DDS of Snodgrass-King Pediatric Dental Associates. Every so often during a playtime, says Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, children have an accident and suffer an injury to their teeth. With that in mind, Dr. David Snodgrass DDS has prepared some first aid tips for parents so that they are not at a loss if their child comes home with a dental avulsion, chipped tooth or bitten lip.

If a child sustains a cut in his or her mouth or accidentally bites the lip, cheek or tongue, says Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, the first response should be to apply ice to the injury to minimize swelling. If the cut or bite is bleeding, continues Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, apply cloth or gauze with a little pressure to encourage clotting. If these simple measures do not control the bleeding, adds Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, then the problem may be more serious and it is time to call your Snodgrass-King pediatric dentist or visit the nearest emergency room.

Knocked out (or avulsed) baby teeth are typical childhood injuries, according to Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, and are not usually emergencies. If your child knocks out a baby tooth, Dr. David Snodgrass DDS advises calling Snodgrass-King Pediatric Dental Associates during normal business hours. If the tooth is a molar or the knocked out tooth is a permanent tooth, says Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, try to find the tooth as fast as possible. Avoid touching the root of the tooth, says Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, and instead hold it by the crown. Dr. David Snodgrass DDS instructs parents to rinse the tooth with water and nothing else. If the tooth does not have any cracks or chips, Dr. David Snodgrass DDS suggests that parents try to reinsert the tooth into the socket. Have your child hold the tooth in place, says Dr. David Snodgrass DDS by biting down on a folded piece of gauze. Then promptly get the child to a pediatric dentist like Dr. David Snodgrass DDS as soon as possible. When it comes to preserving a knocked out permanent tooth, says Dr. David Snodgrass DDS, time is of the essence.
