Adult teeth fall off - what should I do?

If permanent teeth are knocked out, if they are immediately placed back in the socket and they seek immediate dental health advice, they will most likely survive. Every minute the teeth fall out of the socket and the chances of survival are smaller.

If the tooth being removed is dirty, gently rinse it with milk, do not touch the roots, and follow the steps below


Do not brush.


Keep calm and move quickly.

Position the teeth and secure with a crown (smooth white part).

If there is dirt on the root, gently rinse the teeth with milk or saline (such as a contact lens solution) for a few seconds - do not use water or scrub.

If the patient is conscious, hold the cleaned tooth with the crown and replace it with a light pressure into the socket.

Let the patient gently bite a handkerchief and hold the teeth in place.

If you can't change your teeth:

Don't let it dry, and don't use tap water.

Put your teeth in milk or saliva (preferably the patient).

Broken or broken teeth - what should you do?

Cracking or breaking of the teeth may or may not be painful. I suggest you go to an oral health professional because early recognition can improve the survival rate of damaged teeth.

If the tooth fragments are broken and intact, store them in milk or saliva (preferably patient).

Go to the oral health experts as soon as possible.
