Saving your child's knocked-out tooth..?!!**!!

If your child has a permanent tooth knocked out,it should be considered a dental emergency.The tooth is most likely to survive if it is properly placed back in the socket within 30 minutes of the injury. If your child's permanent tooth knocked out first find the tooth and only handle it by the crown and never by the root.Immediately rinse the tooth with saline solution or milk.But,please don't scrub it and do not use tap water to wash it,which typically contains chlorine,unless that's all that's available. If your child is old enough to hold it there,place the tooth gently back in it's socket.If your child is young,store the tooth in a cup of milk,or hold it in your mouth between your cheek and lower gum. Go immediately to your dentist or local emergency room. what have you done when your child knocked-out his/her tooth? share with us.
