If your child has knocked out tooth, follow these steps and we will be happy to help you during the medical crisis and beyond.

One thing you should do is save the tooth. Rinse it in water without soap or any chemicals. Only touch the portion of the tooth that is normally visible (the crown). have your child rinse their mouth out with water and try to gently place the tooth back in place (in its socket). Do NOT force it. If you cannot easily input it in position, put the tooth in a glass of milk.

Next, get a cold compress and put it up against your child’s face. This will help to reduce the swelling. Additionally, it will numb the area which will help reduce pain.
