Accidental Tooth Loss Treated At Belle Meade Family Dentistry
Knowing the Proper First Aid
If the tooth is loose, even extremely so, but is still attached in any way, leave it in place; do not remove it.
If it is out of its socket completely and unattached, but still in the victim's mouth, it is best to have the person hold it there, if possible, until Drs. Pace and Sullivan can attempt re-implantation.
If it is out of the mouth, do not let it dry out. Handle it as little as possible. Do not attempt to disinfect the tooth, or scrub it, or remove any tissue attached to it. Call our office at 615 298-2030 immediately.
If it is recovered from the ground or other soiled area, rinse it off in lukewarm water. Preserve it in milk until Drs. Pace and Sullivan can examine it. If milk is not available, lukewarm water will suffice.
Time out of the socket is critical in the long-term success of
re-implantation.After 30 minutes, the success potential begins to
decline. However, re-implantation by Drs. Pace and Sullivan is still possible after several hours,
so the attempt can still be made even if the tooth has been out for a
long period.
Call us at 615 298-2030 so Drs. Pace and Sullivan can be prepared to help you as soon as possible.
