Emergency dentistry

A knocked out tooth in Kinross needs urgent care. Call Kinross Drive Dental on (08) 6201 6555 straight away, as the sooner you're seen, the better the chance of saving an adult tooth. Pick the tooth up by the crown (the part you chew with), not the root, and keep it moist.

What it is

If the tooth is clean, put it back in the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If it's dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or saliva first. If you can't put it back, keep it in a cup of milk or wrap it in plastic wrap until your appointment. Your dentist will reposition and splint the tooth, then check it over the following weeks.
