Overview

Some good tips for emergency tooth loss:

• If for some reason a tooth is loose, but still attached, leave it in place
• If the tooth is out of its socket and no longer attached, but still in the mouth, have the person hold it in place and contact us immediately.
• If the tooth is already out of the mouth do not let it dry out but do not soak it in plain water. Soaking it in milk or putting it back in your mouth are the best ways to preserve it. Also, do not try to clean it in any way or remove debris (like attached tissue).
