If you knocked out a tooth, we can sometimes replace it in the socket if we treat you promptly. However, every situation is different, and outcomes will vary.
If you knock out a tooth, here’s what you should do immediately:
- Pick it up, taking care not to handle the roots, and place it in a container of milk or saliva.
- Carefully rinse your mouth, then staunch any bleeding with gauze.
- Contact our dental clinic to book an immediate emergency appointment.
As you await your emergency dental visit, you can take aspirin to combat any pain. Also, if you’ve sustained an injury outside the mouth or impact trauma, be sure to visit your local emergency room. You can contact us after you’ve been declared safe. Your safety is always the priority.

Tooth Replacement: When Your Tooth Can’t Be Saved
Sometimes, a broken or knocked-out tooth cannot be saved. However, it’s essential to replace that tooth to preserve your smile and promote ongoing oral health and function.
Our tooth replacement options include:
- Dental Implants: We offer single dental implants in Charlestown and implant-supported dentures/prosthetics.
- Dental Bridges: A dental bridge closes the new gap in your smile by connecting an artificial tooth to healthy teeth via dental crowns.
Your dentist will discuss the options with you and explain what to expect.
