Knowledge on pre-hospital emergency management of tooth avulsion among educators in kindergartens in eastern Croatia
There is little evidence regarding the knowledge on dental emergency response among kindergarten educators. The purpose was to evaluate knowledge on management of permanent tooth avulsion among kindergarten educators in eastern Croatia. A cross-sectional study with 10 close-ended questions was conducted. The 33 participants were females of average age 43.9±9.7 with 19.4±9.9 years of working experience. Statistical significance was determined using chi-square test. Tooth injuries among children were witnessed by the 27.3% of participants. Questions on the nature of an avulsed tooth, the tooth replantation and whether the avulsed tooth should be replanted were answered confirmatively by a majority. The 57.6% responded they know what should be done if a tooth gets dirty. Correct answers on both the cleaning and the transport medium were provided by 45.5% participants. Emergency response would be appropriate by 6.1% of participants, while majority of 90.9% participants were not aware that they would provide inappropriate dental first aid. The kindergarten educators have a lack of knowledge for immediate response to tooth avulsion. The improvement of communication between dental professionals and them should organize to ensure appropriate dental emergency response by childcare professionals.
