If you have knocked out a tooth or a tooth has accidentally fallen out, follow these steps in order to increase your chances of saving your tooth and preventing extensive dental restorations.
Hold the tooth by the crown: If the tooth has fractured into multiple parts, collect all pieces of the tooth.
Gently rinse the tooth: Using warm water, gently rinse the tooth or pieces of the tooth. Do not use soap or chemicals to wash the tooth as these can damage the tooth and prevent saving the tooth.
Try to replace the tooth in the socket
Keep the tooth moist: keep it moist in a small container of milk, saliva, Dr Jain recommends avoiding regular tap water to store the tooth.
