FIND RELIEF FROM DENTAL PAIN

Toothaches and gum discomfort are prevalent, with approximately 25% of individuals in the United States reporting some form of tooth or gum discomfort within a six-month period, as indicated by surveys. While not every toothache qualifies as a dental emergency, it's essential not to dismiss the symptoms and assume they will resolve on their own.

Knocked Out Tooth? Follow these 4 Tips.

Saving a knocked-out tooth is possible if it is reinserted into its socket within an hour. Beyond this timeframe, the likelihood of saving the tooth diminishes. If you've experienced the displacement of a permanent/adult tooth, take the following steps promptly and schedule a visit to FLOSS Dallas as soon as possible.

Don't panic. Having a permanent tooth pop out can be a traumatic experience, but there is a very good chance the tooth can be saved. First off, do not handle the tooth by the roots, only the crown. Also, do not attempt to clean the tooth (even if it fell on a dirty surface).

See if you can gently reinsert the tooth. Sometimes patients are able to place a knocked out tooth back into the socket without too much force. Note: do not apply too much force when trying to reinsert the tooth as this could damage the roots. If you are successful in reinserting the tooth, you should still visit with the dentist.

If you are unable to reinsert the tooth, prepare it for transport. The tooth can survive up to an hour outside the socket. To increase the odds of saving the tooth, place it in a clean, spit-moistened paper towel, glass of milk, or tucked into your cheek. The basic idea is to keep the tooth moist and at a similar pH as mouth saliva in order to keep the nerves and blood vessels alive.

Visit the dentist as soon as possible. Regardless of whether you are able to successfully reinsert the tooth back into its socket, you should still make a point to visit your dentist as soon as possible. A tooth that has fallen out on its own may be a sign of disease. A tooth that has been knocked out due to blunt force might also mean that there is additional injury to the bone material, which will require examination.
