Dental Emergencies – Tooth loss
If a permanent tooth fell out completely, call your dentist immediately and request an emergency appointment. It is very important to the injured person and the tooth, the dentist within 30 minutes after the accident and that, so it may be possible successfully reimplanted.
If possible, gently place the tooth in its socket as a means of transport. Otherwise, soak in milk, salt water or saliva, in sufficient quantity to cover the tooth.
If you do not have any of these items, use plain water. You can also place the tooth between the cheek and gum (unless the patient is a child who may swallow it).
