Broken or lost tooth
Whether at school or during playing sports, dental injuries occur relative frequently. Every third child suffers an injury of the teeth, usually the incisors are affected. A
broken or knocked out tooth is an emergency in which quick and appropriate actions are required and very important!
Collect the broken tooth fragment and place it carefully in cold UHT milk, water or, if available,
sterile, isotonic saline solution.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, pick it up carefully by only touching the crown (do not touch the root of the tooth) and store it in cold UHT milk or water. Never clean or dry the tooth! Go immediately to the dentist or dental emergency service. A knocked-out tooth can be transplanted only if the root fibers survive the time until surgery. At the pharmacy, you can get a "tooth rescue box" that offers the best chance (up to 24 hours) for the survival of the tooth.
Lost filling / inlay
Avoid hard foods such as cereals, nuts or popcorn, so that the enamel does not crack. Call us to make an appointment.
Loose temporary filling
Temporary fillings or dentures protect your teeth until the crown, inlay or bridge is completed. If you loose your temporary filling / denture, you can reattach them by using a mild toothpaste.
Occasionally, a belated bleeding can occur after surgical procedures. A mininmal bleeding for about 1 - 2 days is normal.
If the bleeding gets stronger afer you have removed the swab, please follow these rules:
Apply pressure on the wound for at least 2 hours. If you do not have any more clean swabs, place se a handkerchief (no Kleenex!) on the wound and bite down. Ice cautiously and with breaks. Avoid smoking, drinking coffee or tea and physical exertion, as this may increase blood pressure. If you lie down, keep your head higher than your body. Do not (or only very carefully) rinse your mouth as this can cause the would to begin bleeding again.
If the bleeding does not stop after 2-3 hours, the wound begins to swell or if you develop a fever, contact us by phone (Phone: ( 030 ) 282 2258 ) and consult a dental emergency service.
