When you have an oral injury, they are painful and you might not know what to do next. The truth is, you should get to the dentist as soon as possible. If you knock out a tooth, consider taking these tips to save it:
-Rinse, don’t scrub, the tooth to remove any debris.
-Place the tooth in your mouth between the cheek and gum or under your tongue
-Never attempt to replace it in the socket, as you could cause more problems.
-See your dentist immediately! Successful re-implantation is only possible if treatment happens quickly.
-If you can’t use the mouth preservation method, wrap the tooth in a clean cloth or gauze and immerse it in milk.
These simple tips can prevent you from losing your tooth altogether!
