Sporting Injuries and Dental Trauma

If you need advice about a knocked out tooth, fractured teeth or a displaced tooth or displaced teeth then the best source of information is the Dental Trauma App. (see links below) In the meantime, if you need advice about a tooth that is knocked out then it should be re-implanted, after cleaning, as quickly as possible. If you can put the tooth back in its socket within 5 minutes then there is a high chance of success.

Instructions for re-implantation

Pick up the tooth by the crown (the white shiny part) The root is likely to not look shiny and be a little bit bloody.
Clean the tooth but do not touch the root or scrape it to clean it.
Clean the root by washing with plain milk or Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution if it is available
Alternately have the patient clean the tooth in their own mouth with their own saliva. Try not to touch the root with the other teeth.
After cleaning the root push the tooth back into the socket.
If it is not possible to relocate the tooth then store it in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution or plain milk or in the patient’s mouth under their tongue
