Purpose of the Procedure

Accepted Answer

Preserving the natural tooth and preventing permanent loss. Restoring the aesthetic appearance of the smile immediately. Avoiding the need for expensive dental implants in the future.

Question 2

Immediate First Aid Steps

Hold the tooth by the crown, never the root. Rinse with cold water if dirty (do not scrub). Place it in a container of cold milk immediately. Seek dental emergency care within the golden hour.

Stick to a soft diet for at least two weeks. Avoid direct biting or pressure on the splinted tooth. Maintain oral hygiene using prescribed mouthwash. Regular follow-ups to monitor root resorption and nerve health.
