Seeking Care For Knocked-Out Teeth

If a tooth is knocked out, make sure that it is a permanent tooth. Primary teeth, also called as baby teeth, should not be replanted. If you are unsure whether the tooth is a permanent tooth or primary tooth, store it in a container with a small amount of saline if available or alternatively milk or even saliva and see your dentist immediately.

At Precision Dental, we provide urgent care for avulsed teeth as well as long-term smile restoration options through Cosmetic Dentistry Brisbane services.

First aid tips for avulsed teeth:
