Your emergency dentist wants to make sure you are prepared for any dental emergency\u2014especially a lost tooth. Follow this helpful guide to save lost teeth!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Follow These Helpful Steps for a Lost Tooth:<\/h2>\n

The best thing you can do to save a knocked-out tooth is to get a dental office that offers emergency dentistry\u2014but in the meantime, there follow these steps to save your natural tooth:<\/p>\n

Be sure to find the tooth and recover it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must recover the lost tooth at the site of the accident. Handle the tooth carefully when you pick it up, and never touch the root of the tooth, only the chewing surface.<\/p>\n

Clean it off with water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use only water to gently rinse off any dirt. Do not use soap or chemicals and don\u2019t scrub the tooth, leave any attached soft tissues in place.<\/p>\n

If you can fit it in the socket, do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gently push it in with your fingers of course by the crown. Try to position it above the socket and close your mouth slowly. Hold the tooth in place with your fingers or by gently biting down on it. If you can\u2019t fit it correctly, but do not force it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your tooth moist if it\u2019s not in the socket.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tooth must stay moist at all times. If it can\u2019t be replaced in the socket, put it in milk. Don\u2019t use regular tap water\u2014we will explain why milk is the perfect substance in just a second!<\/p>\n

Get to your dentist quickly and safely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your chances of saving your natural teeth are increased when you visit the dentist immediately after a dental emergency.<\/p>\n

Keep Your Tooth Moist in Milk<\/h2>\n

Not too many people know that milk is an excellent temporary preservative for a lost tooth. Why? Its chemical makeup is compatible with the makeup of soft tissues, enriched with calcium and healthy fibers that match the root of your tooth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very stressful to deal with dental emergencies on your own. If faced with one, call your Tallahassee dentist right away! They can help you over the phone and schedule a same-day dental appointment to save your smile.<\/p>\n
