Knocked-out tooth

Paediatric Orofacial Trauma New York partners in oral health

If a permanent (second) tooth is knocked out (in an accident or fight) but is intact, it can be saved by the following, immediate procedure.
1. Replace the tooth in its original position,preferably immediately; if dirty, put it in milk, before replacement or place it under the tongue
Note: Do not use water, and do not wipe it or touch the root.

2. Fix the tooth by moulding strong silver foil (e.g.a milk bottle top or cooking foil) over it and the adjacent teeth.

3. Refer the patient to his/her dentist or dental hospital as soon as possible.

Note: Teeth replaced within half an hour have a 90% chance of successful re-implantation.
