Knocked-Out (Avulsed) Tooth
If a tooth is completely displaced from its socket, it can sometimes be preserved if it is handled with care and replanted or stored correctly without any delay.
Common Questions
Can the tooth be saved? Sometimes, yes—provided you act fast and get professional help immediately.
How should I pick it up? Handle the tooth by the crown (the white part) only. Never touch the root.
How should I transport it? If it’s safe, try placing it back in the socket. If not, keep it in a container of milk while heading straight to the dentist.
How urgent is this? This is a critical, same-day dental emergency that requires instant attention.
