If you get to a dentist within an hour, you have the best chance the tooth will be able to be put back successfully. Always CALL FIRST, if you reach the dentist practise and find it closed you will have lost valuable time. A loose tooth after collision? Do not touch the tooth or try to push it back, this could cause more damage. Go to the dentist immediately. The tooth has been knocked out of the mouth? Place the tooth back in the mouth to prevent the tooth drying out. The quicker this is done the better the chances of success: 1. Find the tooth 2. Pick it up touching only the crown (this is the part of the tooth usually seen sticking out of the gums). Never touch the root, as this will diminish chances the dentist being able to put it back successfully. 3. If the tooth is dirty rinse it in saliva. Never clean the tooth with water or detergent as this diminishes the chances of it being put back successfully and you might lose it. 4. When the tooth is clean place it back in the mouth in its place. Never place back a ‘baby’ tooth, as this could cause damage to the grown-up tooth growing underneath. 5. Keep the tooth with gauze or a paper napkin between the teeth. This is the best way to keep the tooth in its place. 6. Go directly to the dentist. He or she will check the tooth and fix it back into place. If you can’t put the tooth back in its place: Follow instructions above 1-3 Put the tooth in a glass of milk. If there is no milk keep it in your mouth, preferably in the area between the molars and the cheek. Make sure it does not dry out. If it is left out for more than half an hour there is little chance to put it back successfully. Never keep the tooth in a handkerchief or in a box while trying to reach the dentist.
