In the event that you damage your teeth, you should contact our Wheaton office right away by calling (630) 653-3440. In the meantime, you can clean the tooth so it’s free of debris and store it in a container with saline solution to keep the roots from drying out. If the tooth is chipped or broken, keep the pieces preserved as best you can.
Avoid lifting the tooth from the roots and try to only touch the crown portion instead. It’s vital to schedule an appointment as soon as you get a chance-- this will help ensure the re-implantation is successful. Trying to fix a tooth that has been displaced on your own may only cause more damage.
