REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH,<\/strong> something as common as an overly aggressive flag football game, or something as unexpected as tripping over a curb can result in a knocked-out tooth. If that happens, don\u2019t just sit there and fret about it! If you act quickly,<\/strong> there\u2019s likely no need to look like a pirate for the rest of your life!<\/p>\n

Even if your tooth is completely removed from its socket, our dentists<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> here at Lake Oconee Dentistry, PC<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>can probably successfully replace it. But in part, it depends on YOU!<\/p>\n

Here are the steps you should take if you find yourself, a friend, or a family member with a knocked out tooth:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Act quickly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hold the tooth by the crown, NOT<\/strong> by its root.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Never try to wipe off the tooth<\/strong> because remnants of the ligaments that attach the tooth to your jaw may still be present and are vital to replacing it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If possible,<\/strong> place the tooth back into the socket immediately.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keeping your tooth moist is one of the most important things!<\/strong> If you are unable to replace the tooth in the socket, keep the tooth moist inside your cheek or in a glass of milk until you can see one of our dentists<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Talk to us as soon as possible<\/strong>. Your best chance for saving your tooth is to see any of our doctors<\/strong> within 30 minutes of it being knocked out.<\/p>\n

Once you are under our care we can likely replant and stabilize the tooth. <\/strong>We may not be able to tell what other procedures, if any, may be necessary at a later date.<\/p>\n

If your tooth can\u2019t be saved, don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s not the end of the world. Modern dentistry, as practiced here<\/a> in our office, offers many attractive, viable solutions for tooth loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a great video about what to do if you knock out a tooth:<\/p>\n

Please contact us if you have any additional questions or if you need to make an appointment<\/a>!<\/h4>\n
