People have been advised to ensure they are always prepared for emergency dentistry by stocking their home first aid kits properly.

Brits should be prepared for a dental emergency by keeping a supply of ibuprofen, soft dental floss, tweezers and gauze in their first aid kits, according to Dr Brian Gold of Monticello, New York.

"You keep medical supplies on hand for cuts and bruises, but what about your teeth? It’s important to be prepared for a dental emergency in case one happens," Dr Gold noted.

He made his comments following the publication of research by Majestic Drug Company, which showed that in the last 12 months one in six Americans who suffered a dental emergency were not prepared to deal with it.

Elsewhere, a study carried out by the Academy of General Dentistry recently showed that extracts of aloe vera could have a beneficial impact on oral health.

It noted that the plant extract has soothing properties that could help teeth and gums stay healthy.
