\"\"REGARDLESS OF HOW WELL YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH,<\/strong> something as common as an overly aggressive flag football game, or something as unexpected as tripping over a curb can result in a knocked-out tooth. If that happens, don\u2019t just sit there and fret about it! If you act quickly,<\/strong> there\u2019s likely no need to look like a pirate for the rest of your life! Even if your tooth is completely removed from its socket, <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a>Dr. Lynch<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> here at <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a>Hudson Highlands Dentistry<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> can probably successfully replace it. But in part, it depends on YOU! Here are the steps you should take if you find yourself, a friend, or a family member with a knocked out tooth: \u2022 Act quickly<\/strong>. \u2022 Hold the tooth by the crown, NOT<\/strong> by its root. \u2022 Never try to wipe off the tooth<\/strong> because remnants of the ligaments that attach the tooth to your jaw may still be present and are vital to replacing it. \u2022 If possible,<\/strong> place the tooth back into the socket immediately. \u2022 Keeping your tooth moist is one of the most important things!<\/strong> If you are unable to replace the tooth in the socket, keep the tooth moist inside your cheek or in a glass of milk until you can see Dr. Lynch<\/a><\/strong>. \u2022 Talk to us as soon as possible<\/strong>. Your best chance for saving your tooth is to see Dr. Lynch<\/strong> within 30 minutes of it being knocked out. Once you are under our care we can likely replant and stabilize the tooth. <\/strong>We may not be able to tell what other procedures, if any, may be necessary at a later date. If your tooth can\u2019t be saved, don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s not the end of the world. Modern dentistry, as practiced here<\/a> in our office, offers many attractive, viable solutions for tooth loss.<\/strong> Here is a great video about what to do if you knock out a tooth:<\/strong> [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vk0QP_a8Wkk&version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0] <\/p>\n
