WHAT TO DO IF YOU KNOCK OUT A TOOTH

Summer has arrived here in Timmins! Everyone is enjoying the outdoor activities. However, with outdoor fun comes the risk of dental injuries.

Here are some tips on what to do if a tooth gets knocked out:

  1. Stay calm
  2. Find the tooth
  3. Hold the tooth by the crown (white part). Do not touch the root surfaces (the part that is usually under the gum)
  4. If it is dirty, rinse with cold running water for 10 seconds.
  5. Keep tooth moist at all times. It can be stored in a glass of milk or in the mouth between the check and the molar teeth, if the patient is old enough to be sure they do not swallow it.
  6. Seek dental care immediately!
