Dental injuries include chipped teeth or a tooth that is knocked out.
1 Seek medical attention at a dentist, emergency room, or activate EMS if dental injury is severe.
2 Avoid touching the root, or the part of the tooth that’s normally embedded in the gums.
3 Clean wounds inside the mouth with water. Avoid swallowing blood.
4 Stop bleeding by applying pressure with a piece of clean cotton.
5 Do not scrub knocked-out teeth. Rinse it in water, then place it in milk or clean water if milk is not available. Bring the tooth with you to the emergency room or dentist.
