Unfortunately, dental problems will not always time themselves to coincide with your next check-up, or during the convenience of the daytime. At {{ $practice->name }} we understand that dental emergencies can cause varying levels of pain and discomfort but don’t worry, we are here to help.
What to do in the event your tooth has been knocked out, whether it's down to contact sports or an accident. We have advice and a help line for your needs
Retrieve the tooth, hold it by the crown (the part that is usually exposed in the mouth), and rinse off the tooth root with water if it's dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, try to put the tooth back in place. Make sure it's facing the right way. Never force it into the socket.
If it's not possible to reinsert the tooth in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk (or cup of water that contains a pinch of table salt, if milk is not available) or a product containing cell growth medium, such as Save-a-Tooth. In all cases, see your dentist as quickly as possible.
Knocked out teeth with the highest chances of being saved are those seen by the dentist and returned to their socket within 1 hour of being knocked out.
We understand that losing teeth can be incredibly stressful and scary, Be assured that we have the appropriate treatment to help, no matter what the issue. Be it one tooth or all your teeth, our implant dentist can help fill the gap.
