Knocked-out Teeth (Avulsed Teeth)

If a tooth has been knocked out, call us right away. Place the tooth in sterile saline or plain milk and our dentist will see you to place the tooth back into its socket. It is important to have the tooth reimplanted within two hours for the best chance of healing and reintegration. The success rate declines the more time your tooth has been separated from your body. In some situations, it is not possible to reimplant the tooth. Other tooth replacement options may be needed such as implants, bridges, or partials. Your dentist will discuss the options that are best for you and your specific situation at your emergency dental appointment. Call our office immediately if you have a knocked-out tooth and bring the tooth with you, if possible.
