What Should You Do If a Tooth Gets Knocked Out?

When a tooth is knocked out due to injury or accident, time plays a critical role in saving it. The tooth should be handled carefully by the crown, gently rinsed if dirty, and ideally placed back into the socket or stored in milk until professional care is available.

Seeking treatment within the first hour significantly increases the chances of successful reattachment. Avoid touching the root and visit a dentist immediately.

Emergency visits for Dental Emergencies in Markham help stabilize trauma cases and improve the likelihood of preserving natural teeth.
