If you’ve damaged your tooth, the best thing to do is contact our Michigan dental office immediately by calling us at (248) 644-8520. While you wait to come in, you can help prevent further damage from occurring. However, don’t attempt to try and fix your tooth on your own, as this can cause more problems.
If your tooth is cracked or chipped, try your best to keep the pieces preserved. If the tooth is knocked out, clean it so it's debris-free and store it safely in a container with a saline solution to keep the roots from drying out. Avoid lifting the tooth from its roots and try to only touch its crown. Schedule an appointment as soon as possible for a better chance at re-implantation.
