If you’ve lost a tooth, either due to an injury or personal accident, there are a few steps to follow that are essential in saving the natural tooth, including:
Pick up the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface) not the root.
If it’s dirty, gently clean out the debris.
Reposition the tooth into the socket, if possible.
If you can’t place it back in the socket, keep the tooth moist at all times. If you can, place the tooth in milk.
