"Dentist in a Box"

An Australian company has developed an emergency dental kit for use by soldiers in war zones (or anyone else) without ready access to dentists. (Story here).
[T]his Australian company has created a re-sealable plastic kit approximately the size of a CD (6.3 inches by 5.9 inches) that weighs about an ounce and a half. It can be used for a broken tooth, lost filling or even irritation caused by a sharp tooth edge or orthodontic wire. With The Dentist in a Box Basic Dental Kit, a soldier can tackle these problems with a temporary fix until he can get to a dentist.
Although designed by a dentist, the instructions in the kit aren't written in dentist-ese -- they can transform the average person without dental or medical knowledge into a hero on the basic dental emergency front. Between the step by step illustrated instructions, Dentist in A Box makes dental first aid pretty idiot-proof.
 They also make a dental trauma kit for if a tooth is lost.

They are for civilian sale, and they apparently ship to people outside Australia. The web site is here, and ordering information is here.
