A knocked-out tooth is a dental emergency where it can be chipped or broken. It calls for immediate attention and you must see a dentist as soon as possible. Whether it is a child who has lost a tooth while playing or an adult who suddenly faces an injury; to save the tooth, you must consult a dentist immediately.
What to do with a knocked-out tooth?
If you have a knocked-out tooth, act quickly but do not panic. Hold the tooth in place and if it falls, do not pick it up from the root of the tooth. Touch it from the crown. Rinse the tooth gently in milk or tap water or saliva. For a permanent tooth, you’ll need to gently put it back in its socket. If this is not possible store the tooth in water or milk or saliva as it must be moist. It’s best to book a consultation for dental care or an appointment online immediately for a checkup.
Deciduous (baby) teeth
If a baby tooth gets knocked out, do not put the tooth back. Gently rinse it in milk or water. Visit a pediatric dentist for emergency dental care. This will ensure the tooth gets treated and complications are not passed over to the adjacent teeth.
Permanent (adult) teeth
When the tooth of an adult is knocked out, it is crucial to see an emergency dentist for treatment. For accidents or sports-related injuries, acting quickly helps you to save the tooth. Try to re-insert the tooth and within 30 minutes try to reach the dentist’s office to ensure your surrounding teeth are safe too.

First Aid for a Chipped or Broken Tooth
When you have a chipped or a broken tooth, use lukewarm water to rinse your mouth. Use a tissue or cloth like soft gauze to stop bleeding.

Minor cracks
Minor cracks are surface level injuries you don’t need a tooth replacement for. Ideally, they are treated with bonding or smoothing techniques.
A cracked tooth
A cracked tooth may penetrate into the root and the dentist might need to conduct a tooth replacement or a root canal.
Chips
Chips from a cracked tooth may irritate the gums or your tongue. Your dentist may repair the tooth easily with bonding.
Broken cusp
An injury or an accident may result in a broken cusp where your bite function may be affected. Please contact us for treatment and the best outcome.
Serious breaks
Serious breaks in the tooth are painful as they expose the nerves. Early intervention may be able to save the tooth but, in most cases, they cannot be restored. Often, they go undetected, so let your dentist know of tooth breaks.
Split tooth
As the name suggests, the tooth splits into two pieces and often cannot be saved.
Vertical breaks or split root
Here the cracks start at the root and tend to go upward into the jawbone. The tooth cannot be saved here.
Decay-induced break
Caries and tooth decay make the tooth weak. The decay has to be removed to help keep the other teeth healthy.
If you can’t find your tooth
If you cannot find your tooth, never panic. Your dentist may suggest a dental implant, dentures, or a partial bridge for the missing tooth’s treatment.
Protecting your teeth during sports
While playing sports, you need a mouthguard so that your tooth doesn’t get knocked out due to sudden impact. Speak to your dentist for getting the appropriate mouthguard for your needs.
