A knocked-out tooth is an emergency situation, which is why you need to know what to do to increase the likelihood that we will be able to save the tooth. It is possible that the tooth can be re-implanted if you follow these steps and act quickly to schedule an emergency dental appointment:
Carefully pick up the tooth by the crown – don’t touch the root of the tooth
Do NOT use chemicals, soap, or any objects to clean the tooth. If debris is present, then gently rinse the tooth using whole milk or your saliva.
Transport the tooth by placing it back in the socket immediately, then bite down on a wet tea bag or gauze to hold it in place. If the tooth can’t be placed in the socket, then carefully transport it in a small container and ensure it is covered completely with milk or saliva.
Visit a dentist within 30 minutes. The longer you wait to see a dentist, the less chance you have for saving the tooth.
