Last week I posted about the Medical Corp’s Field Medicine class in Ohio. Today I thought I’d give you a bit more info about emergency dental care. Years ago, when I was in Greece, (hardly a Third World country but far from home and my regular dentist), one of my gold crowns came out and I had a choice to either try to find a dentist in the small island I was visiting, or try to implant a temporary filing myself. As luck would have it, there was a dentist traveling with my group and his finance had an emergency dental filling kit with her. I was able to use this temporary kit to fill my open tooth and make it through the rest of the trip without having to spend a whole day seeking out a local dentist. If I had been backpacking I would have had no choice but to use the kit. I now add the temporary dental hit to my hiking gear. (Easy to find at more drug stores.)
