A completely knocked-out adult tooth can sometimes be saved if you act within the hour. Follow the steps below and get to us immediately — call +961 79 197 394 on your way.
Time is critical: pick up the tooth by the crown (the white part), never the root. If it's dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or water without scrubbing. If you can, gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it. If not, keep it in milk.
Then come to us straight away — the sooner a knocked-out adult tooth is re-implanted, the better the chance of saving it. Call ahead on +961 79 197 394 so we're ready for you. Note: don't try to re-implant a child's baby tooth; bring your child in and we'll advise.
