What to do? Every minute counts!

The best advice is to put the tooth back in place immediately!

If the whole tooth has been knocked out NOTE: does not apply to children’s primary teeth

♥ Find the lost tooth without delay! ♥ Avoid touching the root and put the tooth back in place – if at all possible. If the tooth is visibly dirty, quickly rinse under running water or clean



in the mouth with saliva.

♥ Hold the tooth in place on the way to the dentist. ♥ If this is not possible, keep the tooth inside the mouth, or in milk. Do not let the root dry out! ♥ See a dentist as soon as possible.

If parts of a tooth have broken off

♥ Find the missing tooth fragment and keep it moist on the way to the dentist. Call the dentist:
