If a permanent tooth is knocked out, bring the child and tooth to a dentist immediately. Place the tooth in a container of milk, salt water, or the child's saliva. if these are unavailable; use water.
If you are unable to get to the dentist immediately, gently rinse the tooth in warm water. Do not touch the root. Carefully insert the tooth back in place. see your dentist within 30 minutes, if possible.
Sometime a knocked-out tooth can be successfully placed in position. A splint may help secure it.
Prevention
Children who play all sports should always wear a mouthguard to prevent serious injury. your dentist can customize one to fit you comfortably.
