Steps To Follow If Your Tooth Gets Knocked Out

Step 1 Locate the tooth immediately Locate the
tooth right away the moment you detect it is
missing. Step 2 Rinse the tooth Rinse the
teeth gently with saline water or milk while
still holding it by the crown. Step 3 Gently
put the tooth back in its socket Try to gently
reposition the clean tooth in the empty socket
right away to improve the chances of having the
nerves, blood vessels, and ligaments reattach and
heal.

Step 4 Keep the tooth moist If you are having
problems repositioning the tooth, dont force it.
Rather, preserve it in safe, PH-balanced liquid,
like milk, until you get to a dentist near
you. Step 5 See a dentist as soon as
possible There are many family dentists in Palo
Alto, so seeing one closest to you after an
accident is worth the effort.

root. It acts as an anchor for artificial teeth
such as bridges, crowns, and dentures. A
