Lost Tooth? What to Do Immediately - Dental Emergency Advice

You cannot put a fallen out tooth back in yourself. If a tooth is knocked out, it is crucial to seek immediate dental attention. The tooth should be handled carefully by holding the crown (the white part) and avoiding touching the root. Rinse the tooth gently with milk or saline solution, if available, and place it back in its socket if possible. If the tooth cannot be placed back in, it should be kept moist in milk or saline solution and taken to a dentist as soon as possible. Timely treatment is essential to increase the chances of successfully reimplanting the tooth. Do not attempt to force the tooth back in if it doesn't fit easily, as this could cause further damage.
