If this is not possible, keep the tooth in a glass of cold milk, and go to the dentist immediately.<\/p>\n<p>To maximize the chances of reinserting the tooth, two factors are essential:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The length of time the tooth was out of the gum (maximum 60 minutes).<\/li>\n<li>The external environment used to save the tooth before reinsertion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your child is bleeding, gently rinse out his or her mouth and place a cotton ball or gauze on the wound. Apply ice to reduce the swelling as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that these instructions apply to adult teeth only. If a primary tooth is accidentally knocked out, its replantation will not hold as well, and it will not be able to maintain the space for the permanent tooth.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see our
