Knocked-Out Tooth Care

A child lost tooth emergency requires immediate attention to prevent complications and protect long-term oral health. If a baby tooth is knocked out, a dentist will assess the area for injuries, but reimplantation is not necessary since the permanent tooth will eventually emerge. However, if a permanent tooth is knocked out, it should be placed in milk and brought to a dentist immediately to improve the chances of successful reattachment. Seeking prompt care from an emergency pediatric dentist helps prevent infection, preserves the natural tooth when possible, and reduces the risk of future alignment issues or orthodontic complications.
