What To Do In Case Of A Knocked Out Tooth
If a permanent tooth is knocked out:
-
Locate the Tooth: Avoid handling the root of the tooth and contact us immediately.
-
Store the Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (the smooth white part and not the root) and place it in a balanced salt solution, milk, or saliva. Avoid storing it in tap water.
-
Reinsert if Possible: For older children or adults, gently place the tooth back in its socket.
-
Control Bleeding: Use gauze or a clean cloth to manage bleeding.
