What Could A Dental Emergency Look Like?

What Happens If My Tooth Is Knocked Out?
- Hold the tooth by the crown (white part of the tooth) rather than the root
- Avoid rubbing or scrubbing any tissue fragments from the tooth
- Place the tooth back into the socket if it is clean. You can wash with milk or your own saliva to gently clean before placing back into the socket
- If tooth cannot be inserted into socket, please store the tooth in milk or wrap in plastic
- Alternatively, store in the owner’s mouth next to the cheek
- Ensure that the tooth does not dry out
- Because time is of the essence, seek emergency dental treatment
What If A Baby Tooth Is Knocked Out?
- Do not try to re-insert the tooth into the socket.
- Re-implanting a knocked-out baby tooth can cause problems with the adult tooth’s development.
- To guarantee that any injuries to the gums or lips can be controlled, get dental treatment right away
