Medical Treatment:
- If it is a baby tooth, do not put it back in (it could damage the tooth growing underneath)
- Hold it by the white bit that sticks out of the gum. Do not touch the root
- If it is dirty lick it clean, or rinse it quickly for no more than 10 seconds in cold running water
- Try to put it back into the hole in the gum. If it does not go in easily, put it in milk or saliva
- Keep it in your cheek until you see the dentist (do not have younger children do this in case they swallow it)
- Bite down gently on a clean cloth to hold the tooth in place if it goes back in
- If you do not know if it is an adult or baby tooth, put it in saliva or milk and bring it to the dentist
