🚨 CRITICAL EMERGENCY

Knocked-Out Tooth — Act Within 60 Minutes

A knocked-out tooth is one of the most urgent dental emergencies. With quick action, we may be able to re-implant your tooth. Every minute counts.

4 Critical Steps — Do This NOW

Follow these steps exactly to maximize the chances of saving your tooth.

1

Pick Up the Tooth

Immediately

Pick it up by the crown (the white part), NOT by the root. Touching the root can damage the cells needed for re-implantation.

2

Rinse Gently

30 seconds

If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with water for 10 seconds. Do not scrub, use soap, or wrap in tissue.

3

Keep It Moist

1 minute

Try to place it back in the socket. If you can't, place it in whole milk, saline solution, or between your cheek and gum. NEVER in plain water alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you re-implant a knocked-out tooth?
Yes, in many cases. The key is speed — the sooner you get to us (ideally within 1 hour), the higher the chances of success. Call 786-600-0494 immediately.
What if I can't get there within 1 hour?
Still call us. Even if re-implantation is less likely, we can discuss replacement options like dental implants or bridges. Keep the tooth moist in milk while traveling.
What about knocked-out baby teeth?
Baby teeth are generally not re-implanted as it could damage the underlying permanent tooth. However, call us anyway — we'll evaluate the situation and reassure your child.
How much does tooth re-implantation cost?
Cost varies depending on the treatment needed. We accept all insurance and Medicaid. We also offer no-credit-check financing.
