Partially Dislodged Tooth

Sometimes a tooth is knocked loose or comes partway out of its socket because of an injury. We call this an extruded tooth. If the tooth is not broken, and the nerve and blood vessels are still attached, the tooth may be saved. To save the tooth, you need to contact us right away. Leave the tooth in your mouth even though it is partially out of the socket. If needed, take an over the counter pain reliever and apply a cold pack to relieve pain until you reach our office.
