Knocked-out tooth: what to do

Do not scrub the root. A quick rinse in milk or saline is enough if it is dirty. Keep the person sitting up, and deal with bleeding with gentle pressure. Head injury, dizziness or vomiting needs A&E, not just a dentist.

Even when the tooth cannot be saved, we can manage the gap, control pain and plan an implant or bridge later. Emergency assessments start from £78.

For other trauma — see emergency dentist and broken tooth first aid.
