If a tooth is knocked
out you should:
- Without delay call your dentist for an
emergency appointment
- Find the missing tooth if possible
- Gently rinse, but do not scrub the tooth to
get rid of dirt or debris
- Place the clean tooth in your mouth between
the cheek and gum
- Never attempt to replace the tooth into the
socket. This may cause further pain
- Go to the dentist as soon as possible. If it
is within a half hour of the injury, it could be possible to re-implant
your tooth
- If it is not possible to store the tooth in
the mouth of the injured person, (e.g. young child) wrap the tooth in a
clean cloth or gauze and immerse in milk
Extruded tooth:
- If the tooth is pushed out of place (inward or
outward):
- It should be repositioned to its normal place
with very delicate finger pressure
- Never force the tooth into the socket
- Hold the tooth in place with a damp tissue or
gauze
- It is imperative that the injured person be
seen by a dentist within 30 minutes
