Knocked-Out Tooth — Fargo–Moorhead
A knocked-out permanent tooth is time-sensitive. These tips are general first aid, not a guarantee of saving the tooth.
Keep the tooth moist
- Pick it up by the crown (top), not the root
- If dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline — don’t scrub or wrap in tissue
- Store in milk, or keep in the cheek if you can do so safely without swallowing it
- Seek dental care as soon as you can
If the injury involved major trauma, loss of consciousness, or heavy bleeding, call 911 or go to an ER.
Tell us it is a knocked-out tooth so the request can be prioritized when a partner is available.
