What Should I Do If a Tooth Gets Knocked Out?

A knocked-out tooth requires immediate attention. Here’s what to do: 

• Handle the tooth carefully—avoid touching the root. 
• If it’s clean, try to place it gently back in the socket. If not, keep it in a container of milk or saliva. 
• Call us right away. Timing is critical! We may be able to save the tooth if treated quickly.
