What booster is required in cases of dental avulsions?

Rabies
Tetanus
MMR
Hepatitis B

The correct answer is: Tetanus

A booster is a special kind of vaccination that is given to strengthen the body's immunity against certain diseases. In the case of dental avulsions, which is the complete separation of a tooth from its socket, the correct booster to administer is tetanus. This is because avulsions usually involve an open wound in the mouth, which puts one at risk for contracting tetanus, an infectious disease caused by a bacteria found in soil, dust, and animal feces. The other options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide protection against tetanus, which is the specific booster needed for this particular injury.
