AB Avulsed  primary  teeth  should  not  be  replaced.  Avulsed  permanent  teeth  that  have  been  out  for  less  than  60  minutes  should  be  reimplanted  as  soon  as  possible.  Always  consider  aspiration  when  a  tooth/tooth  fragment  cannot  be  located.Maintain  a  high  index  of  suspicion  for  carotid  injury  in  a  patient  with  oropharyngeal  trauma.Uncomplicated  dental  infections  are  treated  on  an  outpatient  basis.  Deep  fascial  space  infections  often  require  hospitalization,  IV  antibiotics,  and  surgical  drainage.Suppurative  complications  of  pharyngitis  include  peritonsillar  abscess  (PTA),  Lemierre  postanginal  sepsis,  and  Ludwig  angina.Needle  aspiration  can  aid  in  differentiating  between  peritonsillar  cellulitis  and  PTA.  Aspiration,  incision  and  drainage,  or  tonsillectomy  may  provide  definitive  treatment.Airway  assessment  is  important  in  suspected  cases  of  PTA,  retropharyngeal  abscess  (RPA),  and  Ludwig  angina.  Definitive  management  of  unstable  airways  is  best  achieved  in  the  operating  room  with  the  assistance  of  an  anesthesiologist  or  an  otolaryngologist.
