What should I do if I have a knocked out tooth?
If your tooth is knocked out—call us right away for an emergency appointment in Franklin, TN. Follow the below tips for handling the tooth:
- DO NOT touch or pick up the tooth by the root. Pick it up from the crown (the top part). If you touch the root, you can damage cells that are needed for reattachment.
- To clean a tooth that has fallen on the ground, rinse it gently with water to remove any dirt. But avoid scrubbing it.
- Try to reinsert the tooth into the socket. If this isn’t possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or in your mouth next to your cheek.
Contact us immediately. Getting to the dentist is crucial for the best chance to save the tooth.
