You respond to an accident in which a young male has sideswiped a tree on an expert trail. He has an abrasion on the left side of his face and neck and is spitting blood. He also lost several teeth, two of which he is holding. He has an airway and is breathing adequately. Your initial action when caring for the patient would be to:
 
  a. get a SAMPLE history.
  b. establish manual in-line spinal stabilization.
  c. obtain and properly preserve the teeth.
  d. apply a pressure dressing to stop the bleeding.

Question 2

While running outside the lodge, a teenage girl tripped and fell. She hit her face and mouth, knocking one of her top front teeth from its socket. Although she is upset, you have assessed no threats to life, and the bleeding has been controlled. Your partner finds the tooth and asks you what to do with it. Which of the following responses would be best?
 
  a. Wrap the tooth in dry gauze and put it in a plastic bag placed in cool water.
  b. Avoid touching the root of the tooth. We will gently irrigate it and place it back in its socket.
  c. Scrub the base of the tooth to be sure it's clean and then we'll place it back in its socket.
  d. Just put it in dry gauze and bring it with you. They probably won't be able to do anything with it.
