Coastal Endodontics offers emergency appointments for these and other procedures, so contact us as soon as possible.

Knocked out teeth can be replaced if you take the right steps to preserve the root of the tooth, and get to our dentist in time.

Tips for a Successful Natural Tooth Replacement:

 

  1. If the tooth is dirty, please rinse it with water to get the dirt off.
  2. Place the tooth back in your mouth, either back in the tooth socket or along the gum to help the tooth stay moist.  Only do this if the patient is conscious and will not swallow or inhale the tooth!
  3. The tooth may be placed in a glass of milk for transport to the dental office.  If milk is not available,  water with a pinch of salt may be substituted.
  4. Get to the dentist within 30 minutes.
  5. Your tooth may be able to survive outside of the socket for up to one hour.
  6. Time is of the essence.  Call immediately to have the tooth set with a temporary, wax bridge.
