PERMANENT
tooth
knocked out
If
a permanent tooth gets knocked out :
 Find
the tooth.
Hold
it by the crown (upper part) and not by the root.
Rinse
it gently in cool water for a few seconds (Don't scrub it)
If
possible put it back in its socket. In other case put it in milk or cool
water
Visit
a pediatric dentist as soon as possible.
If the tooth
is placed soon back in its socket, there is an increased chance of saving
it. |
