Aim: Purpose of our study was to assess the knowledge of school teachers about handling emergencies like -traumatic dental injuries of young students. Methodology: A questionnaire comprised questions on demographic data, attitude, knowledge toward TDI, and behavior in case of accident and self-assessment questions were distributed among 100 teachers from 10 schools. The Chi-square test was used to investigate the participants teaching topics on their knowledge and attitudes. Results: More than half of teachers (56.6%) have witnessed TDI. Almost all respondents (94.3%) indicated that in case of dental trauma is important to take emergency management as soon as possible. However, two-thirds of them (75.5%) thought that teachers cannot provide appropriate emergency management in case of TDI. Conclusion :The study revealed inappropriate knowledge and attitude regarding TDI among school teachers and their behavior in first‑aid management.
