A chipped or broken tooth, a partially dislodged or completely knocked out tooth needs immediate medical attention. Ignoring it can cause serious and permanent damage and is likely to cost much more to treat later.

If your tooth is knocked out, rinse it with water, taking care not to remove attached tissue fragments. Touch it only by the crown and try putting it back if you can. Make sure it is turned the right way. If you cannot manage that, put the tooth in a container with milk or salt water and visit your local dentist immediately. You can use a product like Save-a-Tooth gel for storing the tooth. Your dentist would be able to save the tooth if you reach their office within one hour of the accident.

If the tooth is only partially dislodged, visit your local or emergency dentist immediately. You can use a cold compress outside the mouth to relieve the pain until you make it to the dental office. An over-the-counter pain reliever will also help.

Using warm water to rinse your mouth will help save any broken pieces. If there is any bleeding use a piece of gauze to the area. Applying a cold compress outside the mouth will help control both the swelling and the pain. See a dentist without delay.

Chipped or broken teeth and partially dislodged or knocked out teeth are dental emergencies and should be seen by your local dentist or any available emergency dentist without delay. Delay may cause serious damage and most likely end up costing you more.
