Tooth rescue box

When a tooth is knocked out, it is essential to preserve the sensitive cells of the root surface. Incorrect storage causes these important cells to die off quickly. The tooth rescue box (small vial) contains a special cell nutrient solution which keeps the cells vital for up to 48 hours.

This is the primary aim of the tooth rescue box and thus the perfect basis for a potential re-implant and for permanent healing. Fractured teeth can also be stored in the box. A tooth rescue box can be stored up to three years from the date of production.
Storage temperature is between 4°C and max. 25°C.

What needs to be done after a tooth accident?

  1. Act quickly; look for tooth / piece of tooth immediately.
  2. Do not touch the knocked out tooth at the root; only touch the crown.
  3. Do not clean or disinfect.
  4. Place tooth in a tooth rescue box immediately.
  5. If there is heavy bleeding, press a gauze or a clean, lint-free cloth (e. g., a handkerchief) onto the wound; cool externally.
  6. See a dentist / dental clinic as soon as possible.
  7. If there is no tooth rescue box to hand, the second-best solution is UHT milk*
    *(for 1-2 hours max.; as it results in poorer healing) and then transfer the tooth to a tooth rescue box as soon as possible. 

    Information leaflet on dental injuries

 

 

 

and in other cases:

The tooth is loose / displaced
– Do not touch the tooth.
– See a dentist / dental clinic as soon as possible.

Only part of the tooth is still visible
– The tooth has shifted into the jaw..
– See a dentist / dental clinic as soon as possible.

The teeth no longer fit together correctly
– Either the jaw is dislocated or the upper or lower jawbone is fractured.
– See a dentist / dental clinic as soon as possible.

The teeth do not appear damaged
– See a dentist anyway
Even if there is no visible damage, the teeth can still be damaged to an extent which may result in serious complications in the long run. Claims against accident insurance companies or the person who caused the accident can only be made if the accident has been documented.

New tooth rescue box after a tooth accident

The institutions supplied in the frame of our tooth rescue concept under scientific monitoring will receive a new tooth rescue box free of charge within 72 hours..

We will need the following information:

Entry in the list of tooth rescue box locations

In the frame of this long-term project we also supply a list of tooth rescue box locations. Our aim is to make the tooth rescue box immediately avaible after a tooth accident in as many situations as possible. An entry in the list of tooth rescue box locations is free of charge and is intended to help everybody around the country in case of a tooth accident, wherever they may be, to find the nearest tooth rescue box as quickly as possible, to store the damaged tooth easily and thus to provide optimum conditions for dental first aid. Do you have a tooth rescue box available on site and want to be added free of charge to our list of tooth rescue box locations? Please send us an e-mail with the subject line: “Please add to the list of tooth rescue box locations” to info (at) toothrescueconcept.info; we will be in touch with you shortly.
