What to Do in an Accident Causing a Knocked-Out Tooth
Quick response and proper action are the keys in treating a knocked-out tooth. Treatment within one to three hours is generally needed to be able to save a tooth that has been knocked out. If possible, retrieve the knocked-out tooth by picking it up by the crown and avoid touching the roots. Carefully rinse dirt off with water and insert it in the dental socket in the right orientation. Continue to keep it in place with slight pressure. If the tooth cannot be inserted back in place, position it between the cheek and gums of the person. Placing the missing tooth in a container with cold milk or salt water is another option for transport to a dental office.
