(02) 9524 7047A knocked-out, or avulsed, tooth is a serious dental emergency that calls for immediate professional attention. The chances of saving your tooth depend on how you handle the first few minutes after the emergency and how quick and accurate your dentist is.
At Caringbah Dental Care we have same-day emergency appointments to cater to your needs as soon as possible.
It is important to understand that the first-aid steps offer temporary relief but do not solve the problem. To properly handle a knocked-out tooth, you must seek the help of your trusted Caringbah Dental Care dentist.
Further, the first-aid steps for a knocked-out permanent tooth and a knocked-out baby tooth are different. Know which is which before administering the first-aid steps. It might help to know that most children aged 12-13 have a complete set of permanent teeth.
The treatment process begins with an X-ray to determine if the tooth is properly re-implanted. Other tests to determine bite and capacity will also be conducted.
If your dentist needs to re-insert the re-implanted tooth, a splinting technique will be used to keep it in place. This will stay for days to weeks depending on the severity of the case.
For unsuccessful re-implantation, Caringbah Dental Care offers tooth replacement options such as dental implants and bridges. We will be with you every step of the way.
