\"happyIt could have been a sports injury, or maybe an accidental fall. Whatever caused it, knocking out a tooth is one of the most common <\/span>dental emergencies<\/span><\/a> we treat. It\u2019s also one of the more frightening ones to experience if you don\u2019t know what to do next. Taking the right steps after a knocked out tooth can mean the difference between saving it or not — and calling the emergency dentist in Ocala should be at the top of your list if it happens to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re reading this because you need the information right away or if you\u2019re simply preparing for if it happens to you or a loved one, don\u2019t go anywhere. We\u2019ve got your next-steps following a knocked out tooth in this week\u2019s blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay Calm<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to panic in a dental emergency in Ocala, especially when a tooth has been lost. But keeping your cool is of the utmost importance — remaining calm will help you make the smartest decisions and increase the chances that the tooth can be saved. <\/span><\/p>\n

First, take a deep breath and examine the situation. Was the tooth knocked onto the ground? Is it still in the mouth? Find the missing piece(s) and rinse away any debris. Do not scrub the tooth or touch its root, as doing so could damage the sensitive cells and reduce the chances that it can be reattached.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moisten the Tooth<\/span><\/h2>\n

The knocked out tooth will need to remain moist until you can make it to your dentist\u2019s office for reattachment. Fill a bag or cup with water or milk to keep to tooth safe. It\u2019s even better if you can put the tooth back in its empty socket in the meantime. <\/span><\/p>\n

Slow the Bleeding<\/span><\/h2>\n

You will likely be bleeding from the empty socket after a tooth has been knocked out. To stop or slow the flow of blood, place consistent pressure on the wound with a clean gauze or cloth. If the bleeding has not stopped or slowed after 10 minutes, you need emergency medical attention fast. Skip the dentist and head straight to the emergency room. <\/span><\/p>\n

Manage Discomfort<\/span><\/h2>\n

When a tooth has been knocked out, you are likely to experience moderate to severe pain. Taking an over the counter medication like Tylenol can help to relieve the discomfort until you can make it to the dentist\u2019s office. You may be prescribed something stronger if needed after the tooth has been treated. <\/span><\/p>\n

Call Your Emergency Dentist ASAP<\/span><\/h2>\n
