Do cavities cause health problems?

yes. If you wait too long to get a cavity filled, then it can infect other parts of your body and cause you to die. For instance, I saw this on the news and one boy never went to the dentist in his life and he was like 12. He had a bad cavity and it went to his head. Yup that's right I said it.His HEAD. So if you have a cavity and you've had it a while, get it fixed ASAP. If you just got it don't sweat it. It takes a while for them to erupt and you'll probably have an appointment coming up. Hope this helps!

Does salt heal cuts faster?

What salt does is absorb the water from wounds and pimples, which keeps bacteria from growing.

Antiseptic, such as Hydrogen Peroxide.

When administering first aid. what is your first consideration is?

The very first thoughts going through your mind should be, "is the scene safe to enter?", and "do I have my body substance isolation?" (BSI).

When giving first aid to an accident victim where a spinal injury is suspected or possible?

Not entirely sure what you're asking but since I'm an EMT I'll try to answer it anyway.

When a spinal injury is possible do NOT perform a head-tilt/chin-lift or use a nasopharyngeal airway to open the patient's airway. Do NOT put them in a recovery position as it can result in irreversible damage. DO use an oropharyngeal airway and/or the jaw-thrust maneuver while keeping them in the Supine position to open the airway and take spinal precautions to minimize the risk of further spinal damage.

How long do you need to use a splint if you have a fracture?

A splint is long enough that it will go far enough past the break on both sides to allow you to secure it. Giving an exact measurement isn't a good thing because all splints are different - a splint for a broken finger is quite a bit shorter than a splint for a broken leg.

Afrin & Ice. Stop moving around. Everytime you increase the pressue inside of your body (bending, coughing, flexing any muscles) or increase your heart rate, your nose bleeds, so be quiet & calm.
