If an adult tooth is knocked out, time matters. Pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse it briefly in milk, and gently push it back into the socket if you can. Then call Dentist @ Burswood on (08) 9361 2796 straight away. Our Orrong Road practice is minutes from Burswood, Lathlain and Belmont.

What it is

A knocked-out tooth has the best chance of being saved if it's back in place within 30 minutes. If you can't put it back, keep it in milk or in your cheek and come in as fast as you can. Don't replant baby teeth.
