Dental Trauma

What to Do If a Tooth Is Completely Knocked Out After an Accident

First of all, don’t panic. Call your dentist right away and explain what happened. Then, rinse the area gently using filtered water or saline solution.
If the tooth came out completely and is dirty, try cleaning it gently with filtered water or saline.

⚠️ It’s important to check if the tooth is permanent.
If it’s a permanent tooth (not a baby tooth), try to reposition it gently back into the socket.

If you’re not able to place it back—don’t worry—but it’s essential to see a dentist within 2 hours for the best chance of saving the tooth.

What If It’s a Baby Tooth?

If the tooth is broken, you should schedule a dental appointment.
However, if a baby tooth was completely knocked out, do not try to reinsert it. Wait for a professional evaluation.
Still, it’s very important to see a dentist within the first 2 hours.
