Injury to lip or tongue Apply pressure to the bleeding area with a clean cloth. If it is dirty, rinse it gently under running water. Place the tooth preferably back into the socket. If this is impossible then just place it under the tongue. If all else fails, keep the tooth in a cup of milk and see us immediately.
Time is of the essence.
The chances of successful treatment are much greater if re implantation occurs within 30 minutes. Lost Crown Try to replace the crown over the tooth structure. If you cannot replace the crown, cover the tooth with a piece of sugarless gum or paraffin to protect the tooth from sensitivity.
