3b. Teeth Injuries (CPR) (2018) OLD

Teeth Injuries are the focus of the second lesson in chapter three. How to handle teeth is explained. When handling teeth gloves must always be used. There are different types of injuries, such as cracks and chips, and the corresponding treatment is explained. "Firstly, always use gloves when handling teeth. Sometimes teeth can be re-implanted and should be transported with the individual to the dentist or to the medical facility. A tooth can be transported in milk, saline solution, or under a cooperative individual’s tongue. Always handle teeth gently and avoid touching the roots. Gently wash the tooth with clean water but never scrub it or its roots. If a tooth is simply loose, have the individual bite down on a piece of gauze and call their dentist. Chipped or cracked teeth can be quite painful. If blood is visible at the crack, prompt dental care is required to prevent loss of the tooth. Injured teeth may later begin to turn color, which can be an injury to the nerve."
