Accidents happen, but many people are not sure what to do when an injury occurs to the teeth or jaws.
Most hospitals have dentists on call for dental emergencies.
If a dental emergency happens call your dentist immediately. If a tooth is knocked out, it can still be saved. If the tooth is dirty rinse it gently in running water, but do not scrub as tissue may be attached. Try to place and keep the tooth in its socket or put the tooth in a cup of milk or cold water if milk is not available. Take your tooth and get to the dentist immediately.
