Maybe you fear that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zumbrofamilydental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">injury<\/a> will result in infection, or that you\u2019ll be stuck with a new gap in your smile. Whatever the case, it\u2019s understandable to feel shocked by your lost tooth. However, there\u2019s still hope \u2014 you may be able to put it back in its socket again! To learn how, here\u2019s a summary of what to do for a knocked-out tooth from your Rochester dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, Is It Possible to Put a Knocked-Out Tooth Back?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can. Still, you\u2019ll need to do a few things first. Specifically, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Find the Tooth<\/strong>: Obviously, you can\u2019t re-insert your tooth if you don\u2019t have it. If possible, find where it\u2019s fallen.<\/li><li><strong>Handle It Gently<\/strong>: After finding the tooth, pick it up by the crown. Ensure as little damage as possible to its roots to raise your chances of saving it. If necessary, rinse off any dirt on the tooth with water.<\/li><li><strong>Keep It Moist<\/strong>: To be re-placed successfully, your tooth needs to be moist. Therefore, don\u2019t dry it! Instead, consider putting it in milk or saline solution.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing these three tasks, you can try repositioning the tooth back in its socket. When doing so, carefully use your fingers to push it into the right spot. You can then hold the tooth in place by carefully biting down or keeping the fingers where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Your Dentist ASAP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you can get your tooth back in its socket, you\u2019ll still need professional help. Only a qualified dentist will be able to re-bond it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being the case, time is of the essence. Ideally, visit your local dental practice within an hour of the incident to save your natural tooth. The longer you delay, the more likely it is that your specialist will rely on alternative options to fill the smile gap. For instance, they may need to give you a dental implant if you wait too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s due to a sports injury or another accident, you shouldn\u2019t panic if you suffer from a knocked-out tooth. Instead, see your dentist so the pearly white can be put back and restore your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zumbrofamilydental.com\/\"><em>Zumbro Family Dental<\/em><\/a><em> in Rochester, MI, excels at all manner of dentistry.
