What to Do if You Knock Out a Tooth


A knocked-out tooth is a real dental emergency — but quick action can save your smile! Here’s what to do:

Find the tooth immediately. Hold it by the crown (top part) — don’t touch the root.


Rinse it gently with clean water. Don’t scrub or use soap.


Try to put it back in the socket if possible. Gently push it in place and bite down softly on a clean cloth.


Can’t put it back? Keep the tooth in cold milk or your own saliva — never dry.


Get to a dentist immediately — within 30 minutes gives the best chance to save it.


Quick action can make the difference between saving and losing the tooth!
