Dental emergency advice
When should you consult?
L’urgence dépend non seulement de la gravité de la situation mais aussi du seuil de douleur qui dépend de chaque personne. Toutefois, il est conseillé de ne pas attendre trop longtemps pour consulter ! Une prise en charge rapide améliore généralement le succès du traitement.
- Les motifs de consultation concernent fréquemment :
- Des douleurs dentaires lancinantes
- Des caries dentaires qui se déclarent
- Des dents de sagesses qui poussent ou font pression
- Des abcès dentaires
- Des douleurs aux gencives
- Des fractures de prothèse dentaire
- Des traumatismes ayant touché le système bucco-dentaire
What to do in case of an accident?
If a tooth is lost in whole or in part, do not throw it away! Rinse it with water without rubbing it, store it in milk or, failing that, in saline, and consult without delay.
Dental injuries resulting from accidents often occur at home, during leisure activities or sports. Children and young people in particular are concernés : About 5 % of all teenagers in Switzerland have suffered a dental accident before the age of sixteen. If these injuries are correctly identified and treated, even severely damaged teeth can often be preserved. A dental trauma experienced during childhood can have serious consequences, sometimes for a lifetime. It is therefore essential for parents, teachers and children to know how to deal with dental trauma.
What is dental trauma?
Dental trauma occurs when a tooth is broken, moved, displaced or torn out as a result of an accident (e.g., a fall or blow).
Que peut-on faire ?
It is important to adapt adapted behaviour after dental trauma. Very often, permanent teeth can be saved by taking action correctement !
Keep calm and act thoughtfully.
In case of heavy bleeding, give the child a gauze pad or tissue, ask him/her to bite it gently and apply ice at extérieur ; Go immediately to a dentist or dental clinic for any trauma dentaire !
Dent mobile ou déplacée
Laisser les dents en position et se rendre immédiatement auprès d’un médecin dentiste ou d’une clinique dentaire.
Dent brisée
Conserver le fragment de dent brisé dans de l’eau. Se rendre immédiatement auprès d’un médecin-dentiste ou d’une clinique dentaire.
Dent arrachée
Placer la dent arrachée dans une boîte de sauvetage de dents : ces boîtes sont disponibles en pharmacie ou dans les cabinets dentaires. Si l’on n’en a pas, placer la dent dans du lait froid. Se rendre immédiatement auprès d’un médecin-dentiste ou d’une clinique dentaire.
Important : Do not attempt to clean a chipped tooth. Do not grasp it by the root. Keep it at humidité !
Are milk teeth that have undergone a lésion treatment also treated?
Les lésions affectant les dents de lait peuvent causer des dommages permanents aux dents définitives qui n’ont pas encore percé, car les germes des dents définitives, vulnérables, sont placés sous les dents de lait.
That is why it is important to go to a dentist or dental clinic immediately, even if it is milk teeth that are injured or displaced.
What treatment for trauma dentaire ?
The dentist examines the affected teeth and assesses the severity of the injury to the tooth, root or nerve, including an x-ray or cold vitality test. Whenever possible, fragments of broken teeth are glued back together.
Teeth that have become loose, displaced or sunken are put back in their place and secured with a glued splint.
What are the prospects for successful trauma treatment dentaire ?
The sooner we get to a dentist, the better the chances of success. The time is précieux : placed in a tooth rescue box, the extracted teeth remain viable for twenty-four hours (and only a short time in cold milk). Teeth that have become loose or displaced must be stabilized with a splint as soon as possible after the accident.
Who pays the costs of trauma dentaire ?
Dental trauma is insured. Employees insured by their employer are covered by occupational or non-occupational accident insurance. Persons not in gainful employment (children, adolescents, pensioners) are covered by the competent health insurance at the time of the accident. All dental injuries must be reported to the insurance company without delay.
