AVULSION INJURIES
WHAT IS AVULSION?
Avulsion injury is a term used to describea tooth getting completely knocked out
of its socket.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF AVULSION?
1. Collisions and falls
2. Road Traffic Accidents
3. Upper front teeth that are protruding
4. Sporting activities
WHAT TO DO IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW KNOCKS THEIR
TOOTHOUT?
Most importantly STAY CALM.
Find the tooth and make sure you hold it only by the crown (the part visible in the
mouth) and place it under running tap water for 10 seconds.
If possible, place it back into the socketin the mouth and try positioning it.
Ask the person to bite down on a clean handkerchief and rush to a dentist.
If it is not possible to replace the tooth at the site of accident, place the tooth in
milk and immediately go to a dentist.
The dental surgeon will evaluate the injury and the tooth and if possible will try
replanting it in the socket
The treatment and further outcome will depend on whether the root of the tooth is
completely formed or not and on how long it has been out of the tooth in dry
conditions.
The dentist will then splint the tooth to keep it in the mouth and further plan a root
canal treatment.
If a milk tooth has been knocked out, DO NOT TRY REPLANTING it. This may
injure the permanent tooth forming in the bone.
HOW CAN YOU PREVENT SUCHINJURIES?
Certain injuries due to falls and collisions may not be preventable. However
injuries occurring due to mal aligned teeth or due to contact sports can be
prevented.
Correct your malocclusion by consulting a dentist and reduce the risk for such
injuries.
Ensure that protective gear is always worn during sporting activities such as
helmets and mouth guards.
ITS Dental College, Greater Noida has specialist dentists adept at handling such
emergency situations expertly!
