Immediate management when a tooth is knocked out
Stay calm
If a tooth is knocked out, find the tooth. Hold the tooth by the crown (white part) and avoid touching the root.
If it is a baby tooth, do not put the tooth back in the mouth.
If it is an adult tooth,
- Rinse gently: Rinse the tooth with milk or saline solution (not water) to remove the dirt.
- Put the tooth back in the mouth if you can (within 15 minutes)
- You can ask the child to hold or bite softly on a cloth to hold the tooth in place.
- If you can’t place the tooth back, store it in a container with milk.
- Seek dental care immediately.
