A Dental First Aid Kit for Kids

Posted on November 27th, 2020

Lush Family Dental gives a list of what should be in your kids dental first aid kitMost 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. Drs. Michael & Blake Louscher 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 Lush Family Dental 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.
