Treatment overview
Understanding Tooth Re-implantation (Avulsed Tooth).
Time is critical with a knocked-out permanent tooth. Handle it by the crown, gently rinse it if dirty without scrubbing, keep it moist, and seek urgent dental assessment. Reimplantation and splinting may be considered depending on the tooth, timing and clinical findings.
