Emergency Dentist For Toothache Relief

Knocked Out Tooth

• If you knock out a tooth, do not hold it by the root. The root is extremely sensitive and once it’s damaged the tooth may not be saved.
• Try to put the tooth back into the socket.
• If it won’t stay in the socket, keep the tooth moist. You can do this by placing it between your cheek and gum or in milk.
• Use a cold compress to stop the bleeding from the socket.
• See us as soon as possible.
