Frequently Asked Questions
All workplaces are legally obligated to adhere to The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, and that includes dental practices. The legislation states that all employers have to implement arrangements to make sure that employees get immediate attention if they fall ill or get injured at work. Regardless of how the injury or illness was caused, every individual should receive instant first aid, and the person administering it or those around them should call an ambulance as soon as possible. Dental practice owners are responsible for assessing the hazards and risks that could lead to the need of first aid. To provide sufficient first aid, the dental practice needs to have the appropriate equipment and facilities to carry out first aid when necessary. Any employers that are designated to carry out first aid must undergo relevant training. Generally, at least two professionals within a dental practice need to be first aid trained.
Administering first aid is necessary in many emergency situations, but a first aid kit contains products that can help with minor issues, such as cuts, sprains, and burns. Not all first aid kits are the same, but most in a dental practice will contain the following: Triangular bandages, Eye pads, Wound dressings, Safety pins, Disposable gloves, Instructions on how to use the first aid kit
First aid treatment differs depending on the tooth injury, and we have differentiated between the dental emergencies below: Injuries to tongue, cheeks, lips – Simply rinsing the mouth with a salt-water solution can help ease the instant pain of injuries. If a tooth has been knocked out, the patient should keep the tooth, wrap it and take it to their dentist, Toothache – If there are no signs of bleeding, then toothaches can be treated initially by rinsing the mouth with warm water. If there is blood, then holding a piece of wet gauze on the tooth and gum will help, Swelling – To reduce swelling, an ice pack that is wrapped in a clean cotton cloth will ease pressure
Every dental professional must be trained in CPR and Medical Emergencies, which is under the umbrella of first aid. This is recommended by The General Dental Council (GDC) as part of a dental professional’s ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD). As well as requirements laid out by the GDC, all dental practices need to comply with The Resuscitation Council (UK), The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and the Care Quality Commission. When it comes to emergency first aid, a dental practice will need to assess whether they require a trained first aider within their practice. Dental professionals can undertake Emergency First Aid at Work training as part of their verifiable CPD.
As part of an emergency drugs kit, a dental practice may have a series of Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAIs), including EpiPen. These AAIs are for self-use and are designed to be swift solutions in the event of a related emergency. It is essential that if an EpiPen is used that the manufacturer’s guidelines are followed.
