Emergency Dentistry
Yes, in some cases a knocked-out tooth can be saved if it receives prompt professional care. When a permanent tooth becomes dislodged due to injury or trauma, acting quickly plays an important role in improving the chances of successful reattachment.
If a tooth is knocked out, carefully pick it up by the crown rather than the root. Gently rinse it with water if it appears dirty but avoid scrubbing or removing any tissue attached to the root. If possible, place the tooth back into its socket and hold it in place. If reinserting the tooth is not possible, store it in milk or a tooth preservation solution until you reach our dental clinic in Charlestown, NSW.
Why Seek Urgent Dental Care?
Seeking dental care as soon as possible is important. Your emergency dentist can assess the condition of the tooth, the surrounding gum tissue and the bone structure before determining the most appropriate management. In some cases the tooth may be repositioned and stabilised so it can heal.
Our Charlestown Emergency Dentist Welcomes You
