If an emergency knocks a tooth out entirely, follow these steps:
- Hold the tooth by the crown.
- Rinse the root if it’s dirty, but don’t touch the tissue fragments or place it in a cloth.
- Hold the tooth in the socket, if possible, or transport the tooth in a cup of milk and go see a dentist immediately. Responding quickly is key, as the likelihood of saving the tooth decreases after about 30 minutes.
