What to do if you lose a tooth

First of all DON'T PANIC and then follow the instructions below:

◊ DON'T hold the tooth by the root

◊ DON'T wash the tooth in disinfectant or water

◊ DON'T let the tooth dry out

◊ DON'T put aspirin or clove oil in the wound

◊ DO get to a dentist or hospital as soon as possible

◊ DO gently push the tooth back into it's socket, if it is clean

◊ DO keep yout tooth in your mouth or put it in milk

◊ DO take pain killers if necessary

Be SPORTY - but be SAFE

A large proportion of dental traumas in children occur during contact sports. Many of these injuries can be avoided by the wearing of properly fitted mouth guards. We provide individually constructed and designed mouth guards which cover the crown and gum over the root of the tooth, which are far superior to those you simply mould in hot water.

If you need more information on mouth guards or to arrange a fitting, call reception on 0161 928 1813.
