You never think you’ll need to know what to do with a knocked-out tooth… until it happens. 🦷
A knocked-out adult tooth is a dental emergency, and knowing the right steps ahead of time can make a stressful situation a little easier.
Save this post so you have it if you ever need it:
1️⃣ Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root.
2️⃣ If you can’t safely place it back in position, keep it in cold milk.
3️⃣ Contact a dentist immediately.
Hopefully you’ll never need these steps, but this is one of those posts that’s worth saving just in case. Share it with someone who might need to know what to do in an emergency.
