The document discusses different types of teeth injuries including loosened teeth, chipped or fractured teeth, dislodged teeth, and avulsed teeth. It describes the nature, signs and symptoms, and first aid procedures for each type of injury. For serious injuries like dislodged or avulsed teeth, it emphasizes the importance of seeking immediate dental treatment to preserve the tooth. Minor injuries may only require dental examination unless bleeding is severe. Proper handling and storage of avulsed teeth is critical to give dentists the best chance of reinsertion.

3. Loosened Teeth This occurs when teeth that moved about excessively whilst staying in their correct location in the mouth. Chipped or fractured teeth A chipped tooth occurs when a bit of the tooth falls off. This can sometimes expose pulp. Fractured teeth happen when a tooth in the back part of the mouth is cracked/ fractured. Fractured teeth are more serious compared to cracked teeth because cracked teeth can be covered by a filling but fractured teeth usually result in the casualty having to get root canal surgery.
