Avulsed Tooth – What to Do When a Tooth Falls after an Accident

The accidental loss of a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]
is a serious situation but it can be resolved if we act quickly. Dental
avulsion usually occurs after a horizontal shock which removes tooth
completely out of the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. Following such an accident, dentists recommend these instructions in order to increase chances to keep the avulsed tooth.

Instructions to follow

A tooth that fell out, and which structure is maintained without any
major fracture, must be re-implanted in its socket within 60 minutes
after the accident for best chances for it to remain in position.
The best therapeutic option is when re-implantation is carried out
at the site where the accident occurred, within a few minutes. The
tooth should be placed in the socket by an adult, either by the person
who lost his or her tooth, or by another adult if a child has suffered
the shock. If the tooth is in its exact position, so that it does not
move when the person in biting his teeth together, the process would
have been successful.
If the tooth is dirty, it is important that the patient cleans it
with his own saliva by putting it in his mouth. The tooth should then
be removed from the mouth and the patient should spit all blood and
dirt. While spitting hard, you can remove the blood clot that could
have formed in the socket, which can make the re-implantation of the
tooth easier. When the tooth is clean enough, it should be quickly put
in the socket. The more it is done quickly, the better are the chances
of success.
If the tooth cannot be repositioned in its place for one reason or
another, then it should be transported to the dentist as soon as
possible. There are several ways to do so.

The tooth should be cleaned with [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] as described above. The person who had the accident must then keep the tooth in his or her mouth, either under the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] or between the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]
and back teeth, of course without chewing on it. If it’s a young child
under the age of eight who has lost his tooth, it should not be kept in
his mouth because he can swallow it.
After cleaning with
saliva, the tooth can rather be put it in a saline solution (water and
salt). Half-teaspoon of salt must be mixed in a cup of water. It is
better to use bottle water if it is available immediately, but tap
water is also acceptable. We must carry the patient and the tooth in
the saline solution to the dentist as soon as possible.
After
cleaning with saliva, the tooth can also be placed it in a cup of fresh
milk, preferably at room temperature. Any fat content is suitable. The
patient and the tooth in milk should be taken to a dental office as
soon as possible.

Exceptions

These instructions are recommended for [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] only. If a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]
has fallen-out following an accident, the re-implantation will not
really work, and will not really serve to maintain space for the
eruption of adult teeth.
If the adult tooth is broken after the accident, and its root
remained in the socket, the relocation is not possible, because the
tooth does not glue to its root.
If the adult tooth is completely removed from the socket after the
accident, but it is broken at the root level, the re-implantation will
not be possible either.

Long-Term Prognosis

It should be noted that even if you follow these recommendations, the tooth in question may eventually need to be [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط].
If the instructions are followed correctly, there are good chances that
the tooth will remain in position for the patient’s lifetime. It could
eventually require a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] and possibly a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط].
The re-implantation can partially work, for a few months or even a
few years, but can eventually need to be extracted. In this case the
tooth can be replaced by a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] preferably, or even by a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] or a [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط].
If the tooth is not placed on time, within 60 minutes after the
accident, or if the re-implantation does not work, it is preferable to
extract the tooth and have it replaced.
