Dental help for a knocked out tooth

06/08/11 6:12 AM

When your child needs urgent dental treatment, contact your dental office as quickly as possible. If the tooth knocked out is an Adult tooth try to find the tooth or the broken part of the tooth and  bring it with you to the dental office.  Rinse it gently in cool water if there is debris on it. Do not scrub the tooth or wash the tooth with any type of soap.

If it is at all possible try put the knocked out tooth back in the empty socket and hold it there.  If you can’t put the tooth back in the socket, place the tooth in a clean container with milk, saliva, or room temperature water. Then get to your dental office immediately. The faster you act, the better your chances of saving the tooth.
