As you probably can guess, we love first aid kits here at the 1st Aid Supplies Blog. Recently, an article caught our eye and left us intrigued. Claiming to have the first ever dental first aid kit, a company called TRDX has released what they are calling the world's first dental first aid kit. TRDX's kit will apparently have materials to fix chipped teeth, broken braces and toothaches. The company makes some pretty outrageous statements about its product:
"TRDX are adamant that the product will be a great success, with holiday-makers becoming increasingly conscious about including first aid kits and health products away with them."
TRDX is also releasing a luxury dental first aid kit, but doesn't specify what that would entail.
After seeing this, I decided to search the web and found a few other products like it, but I've certainly never seen one of these kinds of first aid kits before. Since the TRDX article isn't incredibly specific, I found some info about another dental first aid kit from Dentek.
Dentek's Dental First Aid Kit includes these items:
* Tooth and crown saver
* Toothache medication for temporary pain relief
* Temparin – A temporary filling material comparable to the cement that dentists use to fill cavities
It does seem a bit odd, but maybe this kind of first aid kit will be successful in the future. It's not surprising that this kind of kit has been made – home whitening kits are very popular. Obviously, it will probably be bought for school activities like phys ed class and sport practices. The school nurse should have one of the kits as well, in case a bully knocks a kid in the mouth. But, for now, I think we'll stick with our medical first aid kits.

Many commercial first aid kits are seriously deficient. Most include little more than a few band-aids and bandages to cope with minor cuts or scrapes, some aspirin and salve, maybe a compress and triangular bandage, if you're lucky. Many low budget commercial survival kits include even less in the way of medical supplies. These hardly come close to the sort of supplies that might be needed. Authorities on wilderness and survival medicine stress the importance of carrying a comprehensive medical kit with plenty of extra compresses and large capacity bandages and dressings to cope with the traumatic injuries often associated with an aircraft or automobile crash. The most important thing to keep in mind is that it is unlikely that an ambulance is going to pull up and take you to a hospital around the corner. This is where wilderness and survival emergency medical treatment differs from traditional first aid or EMT training. In fact, the terms "first aid" and "first aid kit" become something of a misnomer when used in the context of survival. Certainly, there will be a period of "first aid," but "survival (or wilderness) medical treatment" and "medical kit" are a more correct description. It goes far beyond initial first aid. Ensure responsibility and make your own first aid kit! Don't wait until the last minute when everyone else is shopping too -- have you ever tried to buy batteries, water, and canned goods when the hurricane is headed our way? It's a crazy unpleasant ...

@christopherremmel I’ve been searching in vain for portable small packets of burn cream but haven’t run across any yet. Lemme know if you have a source…
I would maybe put some burn cream in there. Just in case you burn yourself around the campfire. Hope you never have to use it!
@cougarbahia I got the bag from a local Army/Navy surplus store. It’s made by a company called Voodoo Tactical, so perhaps you could search that on the internet… However, several different companys make a small medical kit bag just like it, including: 5.11 Tactical, Condor, Blackhawk, and Maxpedition. Hope that helps!
where did u get the bag what its name pls? karen
love ur vid im putting top 1st aid kit do u have extra bag u could send me pls? thx karen
may i ask where u got that bag? i love it.thx karen
hi i love ur vids very informative. i have all the 1st aid gear /stuff i need but where can i get bag like yours? w3ith the elastic compartments without buying whole kit? thx karen
agreed thaat the tegaderm is a bit out of place
Great kit!!! You have done your homework.
I am glad to see you carrying the larger 5×9 composit dressing thats smart. Most people don’t carry enough of the larger dressings. You will never need the Tegaderm in the field. Tegaderm is used in the hospital setting and not the pre hospital setting. its an occlusive dressing but its used as an after treatment dressing. Nice video though.
the quick clot should be a sponge now, they changed over from granules. i think your confusing quick clot with a granulated hemostatic agent called celox. look up the stuff it works really great!
i’d say u need a couple of triangular bandages for slings or make 2 of them into broad bandages for tying splints on broken bits or even as makeshift pads
Tegaderm seems kind of sketchy for a survival situation.
Your first aid kit is looking good, well put together. I am currently evaluating my level 2 firstaid kit with some new ad on’s. Keep up the good videos!
