How To Splint A Tooth At Home?

1. If it is a loose tooth, you can file it down to make it fit the socket. If it is a tooth that has been knocked out, you can use a piece of dental floss or string to splint the tooth in place.
2. If the tooth is broken, you can use a bandage or gauze on the finger that was injured and apply pressure to the jawbone with your other hand while applying pressure on the splint with your thumb and forefinger.
3. If there are no injuries, you can simply use waxed dental floss or string to splint in place one side of the tooth in your mouth so that it does not fall out when you eat or drink. You may also use waxed dental floss or string as a temporary bridge for an injured molar or tooth until your dentist comes to repair it.

What Is A Splinted Tooth?

A splinted tooth is a tooth that has been stabilized after it has been damaged or broken. In other words, the splint acts as a support to keep the tooth in place until the natural repair process is complete. One of the most common ways to splint a tooth is with a piece of gauze or a piece of clean cloth, which is known as a “buddy splint.” Buddy splints are effective and easy to make at home and are recommended for broken teeth that are not loose or easily removed. Another type of splint that is commonly used in dental emergencies is a synthetic splint. This type of splint is made of acrylic resin, rubber, or plastic and is often used in cases where the teeth are loose or have been knocked out.

Steps To Take To Splint A Broken Tooth At Home

• Wash your hands thoroughly.
• Use a moist cloth to clean around the area where you’re splinting.
• Choose a splint that is made of gauze or cloth, such as a bandage or cloth strip.
• Wrap the splint around the affected area and secure it with several wraps of tape. If you can’t wrap it tightly, just secure it enough so that it won’t move or fall off during the next step.
• Place a piece of gauze over the splint and secure it with more tape in several places to prevent air from getting through between the gauze and your skin while you wait for the splint to dry out completely.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before removing your splinted tooth and gently remove any remaining pieces of gauze from your skin with an alcohol swab or water-soaked cotton swab so that there is no risk of infection or irritation.
• Apply a bandage to your splinted tooth for at least two days to prevent any movement or loosening of the splint.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke, or brush your teeth for at least two days after splinting unless you have an oral surgeon do it for you (see below).
• If you need to take any medications that contain alcohol in them, have them prepared as directed by your doctor before splinting and apply them to the bandage before applying the bandage over the affected area.
• After at least two days of applying a bandage over your tooth, remove it gently and clean it around the area with an alcohol swab if necessary.
