Dental Tribune Untited Kingdom Edition

Tube kit and contents 26 Product Spotlight United Kingdom Edition March 5-11, 2012 D entanurse has often been approached to supply the dental first aid kits to adventurers travel- ling to parts of the world where dentistry is impossible to ob- tain. The Dentanurse first aid kit for teeth has been taken on round the world yacht races and into the jungle by Opera- tion Raleigh and this Febru- ary a Dentanurse kit was taken on an expedition to The South Pole. The Dentanurse kit was re- cently included in the equip- ment taken to the South Pole by Dr Ian Davis, a Cotswold based GP. Ian has been the doc- tor responsible for polar medi- cal safety on two trips to the magnetic North Pole for the BBC (once with Dr Michael Stroud and once for the BBC programme Top Gear). He has also been polar advisor to the Discovery Channel presenter Bear Grylls. Dr Davis is one of the con- tributing authors to the polar medicine chapter in “Wilderness Medicine” regarded by many as the definitive text book for prac- tising medicine in extreme envi- ronments and he also edited the polar medicine chapter in the “Oxford Handbook of Wilder- ness Medicine”. It was therefore very gratifying to have the feed- back from Dr Davis that he’d used the Dentanurse kit in tem- peratures of minus 45 and it had worked well. The expedition to The South Pole this February was to com- memorate the centenary of the historic race to The Pole be- tween Scott and Amundsen. Co- incidentally it was on a snowy ski slope that the concept of “Dental First Aid” came to Dental Sur- geon Tony Lees when he lost a filling in freezing temperatures. Returning to his hotel he tried to seek help from the local dentist only to be told that the dentist had broken his leg skiing. Tony then set out to locate a pharmacy in the hope of purchasing some zinc oxide and eugenol to make his own repairs but had no luck with this either. He spent a mis- erable week with an exposed nerve being subjected to the contrasting temperatures of the chilly slopes and the warm hotel. Returning home he reasoned that many holidays must be ruined by what is one of the most common dental accidents …the lost filling!
