What Happens When a Tooth Is Knocked Out?
- Falls or sports-related accidents.
- Facial trauma from an impact or collision.
- Severe gum or bone injury.
- Road accidents or unexpected blows to the mouth.
When the tooth comes out, the root is exposed and highly vulnerable to damage or infection. If the tooth is handled properly and treated quickly, it can often be reimplanted successfully. However, if left outside the mouth for too long, the chances of saving it decrease significantly.
What to Do When You Knock Out a Tooth
- Find the tooth immediately — handle it only by the crown, not the root.
- Rinse gently with milk or saline if dirty, but do not scrub it.
- Try to place it back in the socket if possible, holding it gently in place.
- If not possible, store it in milk or saliva to keep it moist.
- Visit Brisbane Emergency Dentist immediately — the sooner you arrive, the higher the chance of saving the tooth.
Possible Complications of a Knocked-Out Tooth
- Infection in the exposed tooth socket.
- Gum and soft tissue trauma.
- Tooth root damage or fractures.
- Loss of the ability to reimplant the tooth.
- Jawbone injury or prolonged bleeding.
Treatment for an Avulsed Tooth
At Brisbane Emergency Dentist, we begin with a full examination and digital X-rays to assess the damage. Depending on the situation, treatment may include:
- Cleaning and disinfecting the tooth and socket.
- Reimplanting and stabilising the tooth with splints.
- Providing antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Root canal treatment if the tooth nerve has been damaged.
- Replacing the tooth with a bridge, denture, or dental implant if reimplantation isn’t possible.
Aftercare and Recovery
- Avoid touching or wiggling the tooth.
- Eat soft foods for 24 hours.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- Take prescribed medication as advised.
- Attend your follow-up appointment for evaluation.
