Dentistry in the Great Outdoors: How to Re-implant a Tooth While out in the Wilderness
Each year, in the US, more than 5 million teeth are knocked out of their sockets, according to the AAE (American Association of Endodontists). Sport is one of the biggest causes of avulsed teeth, and often occurs because players don't wear the appropriate protection, for example, a mouth guard. However, many of these injuries occur in cities where dental practices are abundant. If you lose a tooth while camping or climbing a mountain, it is highly unlikely that you will have access to a dental practice.
