Knocked out tooth! What to do? First, find the tooth. If it's dirty, hold it by the crown (not the root) and rinse it in water. Don't scrub or remove tissue fragments! Then, if possible, gently insert the tooth back in its socket. That's right. Put the tooth back where it belongs. If that isn't possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk. Call the nearest Park Dental practice as soon as possible. On-call doctors are available after hours to help. Don't forget take the tooth with you. More Dental Health Care Tips |
