Tooth Knocked Out

If it is a permanent tooth, and the root is intact, lightly wash the tooth in water or milk to remove visible dirt, (Do not touch the root of the tooth at all.) then replace the tooth into the socket as soon as possible. The sooner this can be done the better the prospects the tooth will survive.

If it is not possible to replace the tooth in to the socket then place the cleaned tooth in a container of milk and take it with you to the dentist immediately. Do not place it in water as this may damage the root surface of the tooth.
