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. Drs. Kenny & Sarrah Zamora 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.
Any time your child sustains an oral injury, it’s important to have Bayside Kids 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.
