| Tooth avulsion (a knocked out tooth) is caused by trauma. If a primary (baby) tooth is knocked out, treatment is not usually necessary. However, you should contact your pediatric dentist to make sure there are no complications. If a permanent tooth is knocked out, find the tooth, rinse it in water, and replace it in the socket as soon as possible. Then contact your pediatric dentist. If you cannot insert the tooth back into the socket bring it to the dentist in a glass of milk, the sooner the avulsed tooth is replaced in its socket, the better the prognosis. |
