Firstly, if you can find the tooth and it is clean – put it back into the socket yourself.
- Do put it straight into a cup of milk or keep it in your mouth
- Do go to a dentist or hospital as soon as possible
- Do take painkillers if necessary
- Don’t hold the tooth by the root, as teeth are surrounded by fragile ligaments which need to be kept intact if the tooth is to be replaced
- Don't clean the tooth with disinfectant or water or let it dry out
- Don’t put aspirin or clove oil on the wound
