If you have a knocked-out tooth, it’s crucial to contact your emergency dentist in Barrie as soon as possible to book a dental emergency visit. With timely intervention, we can sometimes reset the tooth into the gum and save it from loss.
Meanwhile, you should keep the tooth moist to preserve it. We recommend storing it in a cup of saliva or milk. Also, be careful not to handle it by the roots. You can staunch any bleeding by gently biting on gauze. If you have pain, take an over-the-counter medication if you're medically able, and you can use an icepack periodically for swelling.
It’s important to note that if you’ve sustained an injury outside of your tooth (an impact trauma, for example), you should go to the nearest emergency room and contact us after you’ve been deemed stable. Your well-being is always the priority.
