Abstract
Tooth avulsion is among the most severe dental traumas, with prognosis heavily dependent on prompt and appropriate management at the accident scene. Despite existing educational resources, a significant knowledge gap persists among laypersons regarding emergency response to tooth avulsion. The TOOTH F.I.R.S.T Aid acronym is introduced as an effective educational tool aligned with the 2020 International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) Guidelines to simplify and promote correct immediate actions. This short communication presents the acronym, emphasizes its importance, discusses strategies for its implementation, addresses potential limitations, and encourages its promotion to improve outcomes in dental avulsion cases.
