Abstract
Dental trauma presents a significant public health problem due to its high prevalence and effect on the quality of life of children and their families. School is the place where the most traumatic dental injuries (TDI’s) occur. TDIs are more common in children of school-going age due to daily activities such as running, sporting activities, and bike riding, to mention a few. Previous studies have shown that teachers’ knowledge of how to manage traumatic dental emergencies is inadequate.
