What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If you knock out a tooth, act quickly. Gently pick it up by the crown (top), avoiding the root. Rinse it lightly with water if dirty—do not scrub. If possible, place the tooth back into the socket and hold it there. If not, store it in milk and call our office immediately. Prompt care can often save your smile!
