www.facebook.com/share/p/1CF9UpxcCr/?mibextid=wwXIfrA knocked-out permanent tooth can be saved — but you must act quickly. The best chance of success is when treatment starts within 30–60 minutes. Here’s what to do right away:
1. Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part you see in the mouth). Never touch the root.
2. Rinse gently with clean water if it’s dirty. Do not scrub or remove any tissue attached.
3. Put it back into the socket if possible and gently bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place.
4. If you cannot reinsert it, store it in milk, saline solution, or inside the person’s cheek to keep the root cells alive.
5. Go to a dentist or emergency room right away.
This applies only to permanent (adult) teeth. Baby teeth should never be put back into the socket, because doing so can damage the developing adult tooth underneath.
