The World's First Dental First Aid Kit?
As you probably can guess, we love first aid kits here at the 1st Aid Supplies Blog. Recently, an article caught our eye and left us intrigued. Claiming to have the first ever dental first aid kit, a company called TRDX has released what they are calling the world's first dental first aid kit. TRDX's kit will apparently have materials to fix chipped teeth, broken braces and toothaches. The company makes some pretty outrageous statements about its product:
"TRDX are adamant that the product will be a great success, with holiday-makers becoming increasingly conscious about including first aid kits and health products away with them."
TRDX is also releasing a luxury dental first aid kit, but doesn't specify what that would entail.
After seeing this, I decided to search the web and found a few other products like it, but I've certainly never seen one of these kinds of first aid kits before. Since the TRDX article isn't incredibly specific, I found some info about another dental first aid kit from Dentek.
Dentek's Dental First Aid Kit includes these items:
* Tooth and crown saver
* Toothache medication for temporary pain relief
* Temparin – A temporary filling material comparable to the cement that dentists use to fill cavities
It does seem a bit odd, but maybe this kind of first aid kit will be successful in the future. It's not surprising that this kind of kit has been made – home whitening kits are very popular. Obviously, it will probably be bought for school activities like phys ed class and sport practices. The school nurse should have one of the kits as well, in case a bully knocks a kid in the mouth. But, for now, I think we'll stick with our medical first aid kits.
