A Dental First Aid Kit for Kids

A Dental First Aid Kit for Kids

Posted on September 27th, 2022

Minneapolis dentists, Dr. Thompson & Dr. Schilling at Skyway Dental Clinic share ideas for the contents of an emergency dental first aid kit for kids. Be prepared!Most homes have a standard first-aid kit—and with the demanding schedules of the average American family today, it’s smart to keep one in your vehicle, too. Whether at home or away from home, active kids like to run, play, climb, and jump off things—and sometimes emergency dental injuries follow. Skyway Dental Clinic thinks it’s a great idea to prepare a dental first aid kit for kids to accompany the standard version and keep them in roughly the same location for easy accessibility.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a dental first aid kid for kids should include:

  • Gauze
  • Small cup
  • Mouthwash
  • Cold compress
  • Tooth storage device and fluid

Any time your child sustains an oral injury, it’s important to have Skyway Dental Clinic check that no teeth have been damaged or loosened. Quick dental attention can mean the difference between keeping and losing a tooth, as well as preventing infections and controlling bleeding. Even if a dental visit isn’t necessary, keeping a dental first aid kit at the ready and knowing how to use it can prevent more serious dental concerns down the road.

If you have more ideas for the perfect dental first aid kit or just want to schedule an appointment for a visit with Skyway Dental Clinic, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!
