If you knock a tooth out of your mouth, your first step should be to retrieve the tooth by picking it up by the crown if possible, and running it under water to clean it. Attempt to reinsert the tooth into your mouth, but if this isn’t possible submerge it in water or milk so it doesn’t dry out during transport. Make sure not to touch the root of the tooth to avoid any further damage. If you have knocked a tooth out of your mouth, contact us at DDS Collingwood immediately and our team of trained dentists will assist you in a timely manner!
