Recent trends on the internet survival and preparedness groups today seem to center upon natural disaster preparedness packages or pandemic emergency supply kits, however one hears very little concerning emergency dental supply kits.

For your own piece of mind it is important that you understand what dental emergency items you should be maintaining. Naturally, by merely taking proper care of our mouth and teeth and seeking regular professional dental care we often tend to minimize the amount of dental emergencies one would experience. Unfortunately, in times of crisis these situations could quickly change. You family dental care specialist may not be readily available and in order to care for yourself and your family you would need to accumulate specific tools and supplies.  ---CONTINUED---

I 'snipped' this from the end of a larger post, over in the General Dental Information thread:

DENTAL EMERGENCY WHEN ALONE

Dental first aid kit

The first time I needed to treat a broken tooth while backpacking, I opened my first aid kit and there was nothing that would help. I'll bet yours is the same. A few small, lightweight items available at a drug store or market can be added to your first aid kit to treat dental emergencies. I recommend the following:

   * Dental floss
   * Soft dental or orthodontic wax
   * Cotton pellets
   * Tempanol or Cavit temporary filling material
   * Oil of cloves (eugenol)
   * Small dental tweezers


When working in the mouth, remember to always wear protective gloves from your first aid kit to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Re hating the dentist. Me too. Bad experience in childhood still gives me flashbacks. It's usually takes two Valium just to walk into his office!

Prepper’s Emergency Dental Kit Checklist (and Why You Need One)
https://www.primalsurvivor.net/preppers-emergency-dental-kit-checklist/

  While it seems obvious to stockpile first aid supplies for emergencies, not many people have an emergency dental kit (aka “SHTF dental kit”).

Even a lot of the “hardcore” preppers I know still don’t have emergency dental supplies beyond some pain reliever and extra tubes of toothpaste.---CONTINUED---
