Athletic Trainers

Will you help your athletes protect their teeth?

When an injury involves a knocked-out tooth, you’ve got less than 15 minutes to act before the tooth starts to die — lost forever!

The athletic trainer is often the first on the scene of a sports injury, and your athletes depend on you to be prepared. Over 800,000 teeth get knocked out every year in the sports world, and half of all athletes experience a dental trauma during their sports life.

When a sports emergency occurs, you’re often focused on other concerns, such as head or vital organ injury.  Yet while you’re taking care of that, time is ticking away at any teeth that have been knocked loose. So being prepared can be the difference between saving the athlete’s tooth and losing it.

With Save-A-Tooth®, you can easily gain as much as a full day of time, enabling dental professionals or the emergency room to treat this injury. And because you’ve acted quickly with a Save-A-Tooth® in your emergency field kit, you’ve raised the chances the victim can have her tooth permanently re-implanted, from about 10% to over 90%.

Save-A-Tooth® is safe, inexpensive, and vital

A Save-A-Tooth® is an inexpensive and essential complement to your first aid kit — you’ll find a Save-A-Tooth® in every U.S. Olympic team’s and most professional sports teams’ training bags — and many athletes carry their own personal Save-A-Tooth®, especially since half of them have experienced dental trauma while playing their sport.

Using it is as simple as opening your medical field kit, unscrewing the top of the Save-A-Tooth® and dropping the tooth in. You can then treat the bleeding gum cavity and arrange a dental appointment or treat other critical injuries that may have happened simultaneously. You can even drop the Save-A-Tooth® in your bag as there is no risk of the tooth being damaged in transit.
