DenTek Home Dental First Aid Kit for repairing lost fillings or securing loose caps, crowns or inlays (packaging may vary) with spade tool

Product Information

For dental extractions in a worst-case scenario you don’t want just forceps. While working with an austere medical and dental program as an assistant we used dental elevators that loosen the tooth by pulling up on the pulp below the gums. This is step one before forceps. If you only use forceps you’re likely to break piece of the tooth off causing more pain and less tooth to get ahold of to pull.

Disposable face masks: Most of us are now familiar with disposable face masks. These are sensible to use when treating someone with a first aid kit to minimise the risk of exposing someone to infection, whether they are the person being treated or the person carrying out the first aid.Some of you who regularly read the Primal Survivor blog know that I am following the Syrian war crisis (I do not want to start a political discussion. Rather, I believe that these modern-day disasters can teach us a lot about preparedness!).

Perfect for those times when you cannot visit a dentist. There may be times when we cannot access a dentist (global pandemic, anyone?) but you need to fill a cavity to prevent pain and a worsening of the situation. This kit is ideal for this situation. Contains dentist grade materials. The filling product included with the kit uses the same type of filling that dentists use, so you know you are doing the best for your teeth than you can possibly do. Teeth are one of those things that we don’t really think about, aren’t they? They help us eat, we brush them, and that’s just about it. Unless, however, you get a problem. Dentists are well versed in dealing with emergency dental problems, like severe toothaches, abscesses and traumatic facial injuries. However, these are not the only kind of emergency situations that people working in the dental healthcare industry need to be prepared for. Antihistamine medication: Antihistamines come in tablet, liquid and cream forms. An antihistamine cream helps reduce the itch and rash associated with allergies or insect bites. However, as with pain killers, it’s important to seek permission before administering any tablets or liquid medication to those in need, especially children.

It turns out that survival dentistry isn’t as complicated as you might think – so long as you are prepared. Why Do You Need an Emergency Dental Kit? Adult AEDs can be used on children over eight years old. However, some devices have paediatric pads and settings that make them more suitable for younger children. This allows for effective and measured treatment regardless of patients’ age or size. These adjustable AEDs should be considered for practices that regularly treat children. The Resuscitation Council UK recommends that dental practitioners have immediate access to resuscitation drugs to enable initial treatment and help them manage common medical emergencies. Dental practitioners can obtain emergency drugs through a prescribing dentist or a doctor under patient-group directions. The following drugs are recommended by the Resuscitation Council UK for dental practices: The emergency drug kit should also provide information on how to identify and manage medical emergencies to help staff respond effectively while awaiting professional medical help. All drugs should be stored together in a purpose-made emergency drug kit. Oxygen cylinders

Coconut Oil or Olive Oil: Apparently, “oil pulling” is a big craze in the health world. The oil is supposed to draw toxins and bacteria out of your teeth and mouth. I tried it. I didn’t do it long enough to say whether it has benefits, though I can say it feels bizarre to brush with oil!

This one is ideal for those who are looking for a more natural fix for their tooth issues – it is mainly made from Zinc Oxide. Pros Tweezers are a handy tool to remove small pieces of debris like fish bones, enamel chips, and dental restorations. However, don’t use them to remove things between your teeth. You might damage your gums and teeth, making things worse. Dental Mirror Effective disinfectant included. When you are dealing with any issues inside your mouth, you need to make sure the area is as clean as it can be. The included disinfectant is effective and will ensure that you don’t end up with an infection. Even many of the “hardcore” preppers I know still don’t have emergency dental supplies beyond some pain reliever and extra tubes of toothpaste. Close your teeth together, as if you were biting down on a piece of paper, and gently chew or grind on the replaced filling a couple times to create a comfortable bite.The General Dental Council standards for the dental team state that, as a dental professional, you must follow the guidance on medical emergencies and training updates issued by Resuscitation Council UK. So, I started researching what would happen if SHTF and no dentists (or toothbrushes) were available. Pain Wash the cavity area with warm water to remove food particles. Saturate tip of a fresh cotton swab applicator with liquid from the Eugenol vial and apply to tooth. Avoid touching surrounding gum tissue, cheek, or tongue with wet applicator tip. Do not leave applicator in mouth. The Eugenol will help the filling material set up and adhere to the tooth enamel. Cut with spade tool or pinch a small amount of Temparin Max from the vial, and roll into a ball between fingers. Slightly overfill the cavity with Temparin Max and tamp into place with applicator tool tip. Close your teeth together, as if you were biting down on a piece of paper, and gently chew or grind on the replaced filling a couple of times to create a comfortable bite. Use a moist cotton swab to remove excess Temparin Max from around the area. Moisture will accelerate the set. Temparin Max will set softly in your mouth within a few minutes, but avoid chewing on the repair for 2-3 hours to allow the material to fully set. In almost every home, there is a first aid kit kept in a safe place for emergencies. We want to keep our families safe all the time, but what about dental first aid kits? Tooth trauma and emergencies are just as important as any other physical emergency you may experience. If a dental emergency happens at home, in the playground, or in the pool, you need to have all the important information and tools with you. While some general items should be included in an at-home dental first aid kit, you can make your dental kit unique to your family's oral needs. For example, if you or your children have orthodontic appliances, you may want to add dental wax to assist with specific issues related to the braces.
