i got one from campmor (adventure medical brand)....after looking at it i realize i paid too much...many items i had already. that said...whats the tea bag for? i read the vague and common sence directions and that lipton tea bag was never mentioned. anyone?

Biting down on a tea bag will slow down the bleeding caused by lost (pulled?) teeth.

thank you.

If it's not already in your kit, I would recommend adding some wax. It works great to cover an injured tooth or lost filling to reduce pain and sensitivity.

its got wax...

Make tea and add .............. everclear . Izzy

Does it come with string and a door knob?

Do not forget the pliers with a good grip on them to yank the offending sucker out... then apply medication!!

I think my emergency dental kit consists of oil of clove, some dental wax, and dental first aid instructions. Everything else is duplicated in my first aid kit or elsewhere.

I throw a packet of DentTemp in my first aid kit. My dentist recommended it once, when I got a temporary crown right before a trip. Fortunately I didn't need it.
