If your tooth has been knocked out, it is important to keep it moist until you can see us. Don’t clean or rinse it, and avoid touching the root. Place it back into the socket if possible, or keep it in the cheek of your mouth (but not in the case of young children or a severe facial injury), or in milk. Seek dental treatment as soon as possible, preferably within the hour – the quicker you see us, the more chance there is of saving your tooth.
