If you knock out a permanent tooth. it's a dental emergency- here's what you should do immediately:
Pick up the tooth carefully- Hold it by the crown (the white part) not the root.
Rinse gently- If dirty, rinse lightly with water, but do not scrub or use soap.
Try to reinsert- If possible, place the tooth back into its socket and bite down gently on gauze.
Keep it moist- If reinsertion isn't possible, store the tooth in milk, saline solution, or inside your cheek. Never let it dry out.
See a dentist right away- Contact an Emergency dentist near me within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
