Is My Knocked-Out Tooth a Dental Emergency? Not only is a knocked-out tooth a dental emergency; it’s a dental emergency that necessitates treatment within the hour. That’s why we recommend making calling us a top priority. That way, we can walk you through how to handle this dental injury from where you are and schedule a time for you to come in for the necessary care.

How You Should Handle a Knocked-Out Tooth We mentioned an important to-do above: calling us. We also recommend doing what you can to preserve the root of the tooth. The first option is to place it in a clean container filled with milk. The second option is to gently insert it back into the socket.

How We Treat Knocked-Out Teeth If your tooth is in good condition and you get to our office within 60 minutes of the incident, there’s a good chance that we can save your tooth! The other option is addressing any dental damage before filling the open space with a dental bridge or implant.
