It may sound like a catastrophe to many people, but having a tooth knocked out doesn’t always mean you’ll need cosmetic dentistry to fix your smile. Keep a cool head and remember a few simple instructions, chances are you can salvage your tooth. Your Time Dental Urgent Care in Gibsonton is here to help.

The important thing for Gibsonton dental patients to do if they’ve had a tooth knocked out is to find the tooth, handle it carefully, and keep it in the best condition possible so their dentist can reinsert it properly.

Do not handle the tooth by the root, be careful to only touch the crown. It’s okay to gently rinse the tooth in water, but don’t scrub it or remove any tissue fragments from the tooth.

If it is possible, try and place your tooth back in the socket (placed there gently, of course). You can also try holding the tooth between the lip and gum or under the tongue as well, just be careful not to swallow. If neither of these is an option, place the tooth in a cup of milk.

Next, you’ll want to get to Your Time Dental Urgent Care promptly. If you can get to a dentist within an hour, you have the best chance of saving the tooth.
