Assessment of Parental Awareness on the Management of Avulsed Teeth: A Survey Study

This study assessed parental awareness of avulsed tooth management among 300 participants at Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Nalgonda. Results revealed significant gaps in understanding, with only 0.66% indicating they would replant an avulsed tooth, and 87.3% disagreed that it could be replanted. Most participants were uncertain about key aspects, such as replantation and tooth storage. These findings emphasize the need for targeted educational interventions to improve parental preparedness for dental emergencies. Addressing these knowledge gaps can empower individuals to provide appropriate first aid and seek timely professional care, ultimately improving outcomes for dental trauma patients.
