I knocked out a tooth, can it be saved?

A serious injury like a knocked out tooth should be treated by a dentist. Carefully rinse the tooth to remove any dirt and place the clean tooth in your mouth between your check and gum or under your tongue. If you cannot do so, wrap the tooth in a clean cloth and immerse in milk. Successful re-implantation can be possible if the treatment is performed promptly so get to your dentist as soon as possible.
