Greetings from Dr=2E Julian H=2E Zhitnitsky! Accidental Tooth Loss by Injury It can happen in the blink of an eye: an accident that leaves a tooth h= anging by a thread or lying on the ground=2E Kids, athletes, soccer hoo= ligans - it can happen to just about anyone=2E Ouch! But if it does hap= pen, it's important to know the proper first aid: - If the tooth is loose (even extremely so!) but is still attached in a= ny way, leave it in place=2E Do not remove it! - If it is out of its socket completely and unattached, but still in th= e victim's mouth, it is best to have the person hold the tooth in their= mouth, if possible, until a dentist can attempt re-implantation=2E - If the tooth is out of the mouth, do not let it dry out=2E Handle it = as little as possible=2E Do not attempt to disinfect the tooth, or scru= b it, or remove any tissue attached to it=2E - If the tooth is recovered from the ground or other soiled area, rinse= it off in lukewarm water=2E Preserve it in milk until a dentist is ava= ilable=2E If milk is not available, lukewarm water will suffice=2E Time out of the socket is critical in the long-term success of re-impla= ntation=2E After 30 minutes, the success potential begins to decline=2E= However, re-implantation is still possible after several hours, so the= attempt can still be made even if the tooth has been out for a long pe= riod=2E Remember, even if re-implantation fails, you have a variety of other op= tions=2E For more information on emergency dental care or tooth replace= ment, please don't hesitate to call us at (818)785-8388 or email us at = drz@dentistsherwood=2Ecom today=2E Best Regards, Dr=2E Julian H=2E Zhitnitsky P=2ES=2E If you have any friends or family members who you feel could u= se our services, please don't hesitate to have them call us=2E We'll be= sure to take good care of them=2E
