Knocked-Out or Injured Tooth explained
A knocked-out, loosened, or broken tooth is a dental emergency where minutes matter. For a knocked-out permanent tooth: pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root, rinse it gently if dirty, and place it back in the socket or in cold milk, then call immediately.
Endodontists treat the injured nerve and root that make dental trauma different from a simple chip. Our Maitland office accommodates same-day trauma visits, and fast treatment greatly improves the chance of keeping the tooth.
When to go to the emergency room first
If the injury involves a head injury, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, or a possible jaw fracture, go to the emergency room first. The tooth can be addressed after you are medically safe.

Common questions
What should I do right after a tooth is knocked out?
Handle it by the crown, never the root. Rinse gently if dirty, place it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in cold milk, and call our Maitland office immediately.
How long can a knocked-out tooth survive?
The best outcomes happen within 30 to 60 minutes. Keeping the tooth moist in its socket or in cold milk buys time on the way to the office.
Can a tooth that was knocked loose tighten back up?
Often yes, with prompt evaluation. The nerve inside still needs monitoring after the injury, which is exactly what endodontic follow-up is for.
