What if my tooth gets knocked out?

If you happen to knock out your tooth, it is crucial to act quickly to increase the chances of saving it. Follow these steps:

• Pick up the tooth by the crown (the visible part in the mouth), being careful not to touch the root.
• Rinse the tooth gently in water if it’s dirty. Avoid scrubbing or removing any attached tissue fragments.
•  If possible, try to reinsert the tooth into its socket. If you can’t, place it in milk or keep it moist by holding it in your mouth next to your cheek.
• Immediately contact Long Island Dental Excellence for emergency care. The sooner you get to us, the better the chance of saving the tooth.

What if my tooth is loose but still attached?

• Avoid chewing directly on the loose tooth.
• Contact Long Island Dental Excellence as soon as possible. We can assess the damage and stabilize the tooth, preserving its health and function
