When is there dental injury?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like a tooth\u00a0breaks down<\/a>,\u00a0separate<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0from the mouth<\/a>\u00a0is, is er sprake van tandletsel. Ga direct met de beschadigde\u00a0tand of het stukje tand naar de tandarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tooth has broken off. What now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Broken off \u2026\u2026 and repaired<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go straight to the dentist with the broken tooth. Keep the broken piece wet! The dentist will assess whether the broken piece can be reattached. If reattachment is not possible, the dentist will repair the tooth with tooth-coloured material (composite). If there are no complaints, the dentist will usually do nothing about a broken milk tooth. If necessary, he or she will smooth the sharp edge of the tooth so that your child does not damage their tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tooth is loose. What now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not touch or push back. Go straight to the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An adult tooth has fallen out. What now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grasp the tooth by the crown<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse the tooth with milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put the tooth from a permanent dentition back into the mouth. The quicker you do this, the greater the chance of success. Proceed as follows:

1.\u00a0Zoek de tand snel op.
2.\u00a0Pak de tand bij de kroon vast.\u00a0De kroon is het deel van de tand dat boven het tandvlees zichtbaar is. Vermijd contact met de wortel van de tand. Dat maakt de kans op een succesvolle terugplaatsing kleiner.
3.\u00a0Spoel de tand af met melk.\u00a0Geen melk binnen bereik? Laat de pati\u00ebnt de tand dan schoonlikken of -zuigen. Reinig de tand n\u00f3\u00f3it met water of reinigingsmiddelen en gebruik evenmin een borsteltje. Dat maakt de kans op een succesvolle terugplaatsing kleiner. Bovendien kan de tand door afspoelen onder de kraan in de afvoer verdwijnen.
4.\u00a0Is de tand schoon? Plaats hem dan terug.
5.\u00a0Houd vervolgens de tanden op elkaar\u00a0met ertussen een papieren zakdoekje of een gaasje. Zo blijft de tand het beste op zijn plaats.
6.\u00a0Ga direct naar de tandarts.\u00a0Die zal de teruggeplaatste tand controleren en vastzetten (spalken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let op:\u00a0plaats een uitgevallen melktand n\u00f3\u00f3it terug. Daarmee kunt u de nieuwe blijvende tand beschadigen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can't get my tooth back in place. What should I do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the tooth in milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the tooth in milk. No milk available? Then keep the tooth loose in your mouth, preferably in the space between your molars and cheek. If the tooth has been dry for more than half an hour, it is unlikely to be successfully reinserted. Therefore, never store the tooth in a handkerchief or box on your way to the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I prevent dental injuries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mouth guard, available in sports shops<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental injuries can sometimes be prevented. For example, you can wear a mouthguard when playing sports. This does not offer a guarantee, but it can limit any damage in the event of an accident. There are different types of mouthguards available. Ready-made mouthguards can be purchased in sports shops. These often do not fit properly and therefore do not provide adequate protection. The best mouthguards are those that are custom-made by your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
