If you have a tooth that’s been knocked out, there are certain steps you can take before you come to our office:

To preserve the tissues around the tooth root, place the tooth back in your mouth where it fell out. Bite down on it using gauze or a wet tea bag to keep the tooth in place.

For a displaced tooth, place the tooth in a container and cover it with a little whole milk or saliva.If your tooth has not fully detached, the tooth between you lower gums and lower lip.

You can also hold your tooth underneath your tongue.

Use a tooth-saving storage container, which will include a fluid solution.

Be sure to save the tooth that has been knocked out and bring it to your dentist immediately. Do not handle the tooth by the root, or attempt to brush or clean it using solutions like rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide and most importantly, DO NOT WAIT to call us.

It is also important not to scratch the tooth, which is why we suggest holding it in a container or in your mouth.

In the past, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you’d probably lose that tooth. When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp tissue and germs can cause an infection inside the tooth. Now, with “root canal therapy,” your tooth can be saved.

When patients experience extreme sensitivity, pain from a broken tooth, or are suffering from advanced periodontal disease, your dentist could recommend that you have a tooth extracted. During a simple extraction, the dentist can safely remove the affected tooth without the need for major surgery.

While not all wisdom teeth require removal, wisdom teeth extractions are most often performed because of an active problem such as pain, swelling, decay or infection, or as a preventative measure to avoid serious problems in the future. If impaction of one or more wisdom teeth is present and left untreated, a number of potentially harmful outcomes can occur.
