How to Handle a Knocked-Out Tooth?

When a tooth gets knocked out, it is important to get to the Emergency Dentist as soon as possible. Here are a few recommendations to improve the chances of saving your tooth and avoid damaging it even more.

1. Handle the tooth carefully, and try not to touch the root of the tooth
2. If the tooth becomes dirty, hold it by the upper part i.e. the crown and rinse it with milk. Don't try to wipe it off with a washcloth, as this might damage the tooth
3. Always keep the tooth moist, drop it into a glass of milk. If not place the tooth in your mouth in between the cheek and gum
4. Young children may not be able to keep the tooth in his or her mouth without swallowing it. That's the reason our Pediatric Dentist in Annapolis recommends to make the child split it into a cup and place the tooth in a cup with the saliva
5. Try to slip the tooth back into the socket and don't try to force it back into the socket. If it doesn't get back into the socket then just keep it moist (in milk, saliva, or water) and try to contact our Annapolis Emergency Dentist as soon as possible
