Anytime a tooth is knocked out of the socket, quick and careful thinking is needed for successful treatment.  The tooth should be kept moist, if possible, by placing it in a glass of milk or a glass of water with a pinch of salt.  Try not to touch the root of the tooth as much as possible.  We suggest you immediately contact your dentist or endodontist for careful follow up care.

For your children, a quick call to their pediatric dentist is usually the first stop.  Pediatric dentists are well trained in assessing any injuries to children.  Your pediatric dentist may then refer you to see us at Modern Endo of Napa and/or an Oral Surgeon depending on the injury.
