What do I do if I lose a tooth as an adult?
Our team have put together a little list of informative instructions on how to care for a lost tooth if you are ever in this (unfortunate) situation.
- If possible, recover the knocked-out tooth and refrain from handling the root of the tooth. This will help avoid any additional damage to the tooth.
- Rinse the recovered tooth with water or milk but do not scrub or excessively wipe the tooth.
- Until you visit a dental practice, you can try reinserting the tooth where it was previously placed to try to maintain its form and condition. If successful, don’t bite down harshly.
- If you cannot successfully temporarily reinsert the tooth into the socket, try to safely maintain it until you make it to a dental practice.
