Knocked-Out Tooth

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth is a serious dental emergency that requires immediate action to increase the chances of saving your tooth. Acting within the first 30 to 60 minutes is crucial, as reattachment success rates drop significantly after two hours.

If a tooth is knocked out due to an accident or trauma, carefully pick it up by the crown (not the root) and keep it moist in milk or saliva. Avoid scrubbing or rinsing it with water, as this can damage essential tissue needed for reattachment.

We offer same-day emergency appointments to address dental trauma quickly and effectively. Delaying treatment can result in permanent tooth loss and the need for costly replacements like dental implants. Don’t take risks with your smile—contact our emergency dental clinic immediately.
