What To Do If You Knock Out A Tooth

$\"toothko-1\"$ A common dental emergency includes a knocked-out tooth. Don\’t panic just yet! Follow a few instructions and the tooth may be saved. Here\’s what to do if you knock out a tooth.

1. When handling the tooth, try your best to only touch the top part (chewing surface).

2. If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse with warm water. Do NOT scrub or use toothpaste/soap. Also do NOT dry or wrap the tooth.

3. If possible, immediately place tooth back in the socket and position correctly.

4. Keep tooth moist! If it\’s not possible to reposition back in the socket, place in milk or inside the mouth next to the cheek.

5. Call your dentist to see if they can see you as soon as possible! Preferably within 30 minutes to an hour.

Dr. Shmidd at Torghele Dentistry is one of the best dentists who has ever taken care of my teeth. He and the staff at Torghele are very knowledgeable, understanding and patient, and always take the time to answer my questions.

This was a big decision to get all on four implants and the prosthetics and I do not regret it! Dr Torghele and his entire staff were amazing, informative and supportive throughout the process! The best!

I saw Dr.Jeff and it was such a good experience. The front desk was welcoming and nice. His assistant was super great and answered all questions that I had. I was a bit nervous before my treatment that day. Dr. Jeff made me feel comfortable and actually made a dental appointment enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to any close friends or family.

The entire staff is great! They go to great lengths to explain what they are doing and why. Dr. John is kind and gentle and clearly outlines pros and cons of situations. He also communicates what to expect as he is working, which is very calming. I have had nothing but excellent experiences.

I recently went to Dr, Schmidt , as my long time dentist recently retired. Dr. Schmidt was friendly, listened to my concerns and completely painless when taking care of a cavity. I was more impressed of his patient to Dr. mannerisms and calm ways. Kristin Bauter
