If
a dental health trauma does occur, the best advice is to remain cool, calm
and collected. Read and learn the following steps now, and you'll know
what to do in an emergency. Print this page and tape it to your
refrigerator as a handy reference. Keep in mind that the advice of a
dentist should be sought any time there is an injury to the teeth or
mouth. Unlike a chipped or cracked tooth, some dental health injuries are
not obvious. Trauma to the mouth can cause damage, which may not be seen,
but could result in loss of one or more teeth. So check with us as soon as
possible after any injury to the teeth or mouth.

If a tooth is knocked out
during an accident:
|
|
|
|
- Do
not scrub or clean the tooth.
- Place
the tooth in a small container of milk, saline solution if available,
or a special tooth-preserving solution available at your
pharmacy.
- See
a dentist as soon as possible, preferably within 30 minutes. Don't
forget to take the tooth with you. With prompt attention, a permanent
tooth may be re-implanted into the tooth socket and remain normal and
healthy.
