  2. Five Simple Steps To Save A Knocked-out Tooth 1 • A knocked out tooth is a complete dislodgement of a tooth from its socket. • It doesn’t, however, mean that the tooth is permanently lost. • There are several ways you can save a knocked-out tooth even after an injury or accident.

  3. Steps To Follow If Your Tooth Gets Knocked Out 1 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.

  4. Steps To Follow If Your Tooth Gets Knocked Out 1 Step 4 : Keep the tooth moist If you are having problems repositioning the tooth, don’t 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.

  5. Options If Your Tooth Cannot Saved 1 When a tooth is severely cracked or too much time has elapsed since it got knocked out, chances are you will not be able to save it. In that case, your dentist will have to replace it, either with: A bridge:A device consisting of one or more false teeth made from porcelain or resin replaces the missing natural teeth. An implant: Is a metal screw that replaces a tooth root. It acts as an anchor for artificial teeth such as bridges, crowns, and dentures. A denture: Artificial teeth custom-made by your dentist to replace removed or lost natural teeth.

  6. Conclusion • Treatment for knocked-out teeth is possible, particularly if you act fast and follow the first aid tips. • Ensure that you visit your dentist in Palo Alto for regular checkups to avoid serious gum diseases. 3
