My tooth was knocked out. What should I do?
Monday, June 15th, 2009The staff at GCFD suggest that you should:
- Try not to touch the root!- Some people feel that if the tooth falls out, they need to brush it. If it gets dirty, just run it underneath water. Be careful not to drop it down the drain!
- Place your tooth back in the socket if possible.
- If you are not able to place your tooth back in the socket, put it in a glass of cold milk or gatorade (red is the best).
- See your dentist immediately.
