Handle the tooth by the white top (crown) only. Never touch the root — the cells on the root surface are essential for reimplantation.
If the tooth is dirty, rinse it briefly (10 seconds max) with milk or saline. Do not scrub, scrape, or use soap or alcohol.
If possible, gently push the tooth back into the socket facing the correct direction. Bite down on a clean cloth to hold it in place.
Place the tooth in a cup of cold milk (best option), saliva, or saline solution. Do not store it in water or let it dry out.
Call Richardson Family & Implant Dentistry at 972-238-9626 right now. The chance of saving the tooth drops significantly after 30 minutes outside the mouth.
Go to the ER if the knocked-out tooth was caused by a head injury with signs of concussion, if you have a possible jaw fracture, or if bleeding cannot be controlled. Bring the tooth with you in milk.
