Emergency: Fallen or Chipped Tooth?
A tooth falling out or chipped can be a bit of a shock. Don't worry, act quickly and calmly. Here's what to do best:
Fallen tooth
Has your entire tooth fallen out? If so, follow these steps:
- Stay calm.
- Grasp the tooth by the top (crown) only. Do not touch the root at all.
- Rinse the tooth briefly (no more than 10 seconds) under cold, running water. Do not scrub and do not use soap.
- Do not pat the tooth dry.
- Place the tooth directly back into the cavity. Push it gently.
- Can't get it back in? Then keep the tooth in a cup of milk or (if you are comfortable) in your mouth, between your cheek and molars.
- Please contact us immediately. The sooner the tooth is restored, the greater the chance of success.
Chipped tooth
Did a piece of your tooth break off?
- Stay calm.
- Keep the broken off piece in a cup of milk or in your mouth.
- Don't pat it dry.
- Contact us directly for an appointment.
- Take the broken off piece to practice.
Stay calm and always contact us immediately with this type of emergency. We will help you as soon as possible.
