For after hours emergency dental care, please contact your family doctor or go to the Emergency Department of your local hospital. Some private dentists provide an after-hours emergency service

Knocked Out Tooth

If you can find the tooth, pick it up by the top (the crown). Don't handle the root surface.   If it is dirty, rinse the tooth in milk or have the person who has lost the tooth suck it clean.

Don't let the tooth dry out. 

If possible place the tooth back in the socket. If the tooth can't be replaced, have the person hold it in the mouth against the cheek or store in a cup of milk or in contact lens solution. Don't store the tooth in water.

Get to a dentist, doctor or emergency department as soon as possible. The sooner the tooth is replaced the better the chance of saving the tooth.
