If your tooth gets knocked out by accident, don’t throw it away. Research shows that you have a 50% chance of a successful reimplantation if you get to the dentist within 30 minutes.  What should you do? Try to stay as calm as possible. Hold the tooth by the crown and rinse it gently in lukewarm water—do not scrub it. Call your dentist to tell him of your visit and, unless he tells you otherwise, insert the tooth gently back into its socket. Bite down firmly on a clean cloth or handkerchief for five minutes to seat the tooth, and keep biting with moderate pressure until you see the dentist. If you can’t immediately reinsert the tooth, keep it bathed in saliva in your mouth. For children who are so young that they may swallow the tooth, place it in a plastic bag or a cup and immerse it in milk or water containing a pinch of salt. Even if a longer time has elapsed, it is best to go to a Plano dentist and let him decide what to do. Saving a tooth is definitely worth the effort.
