Posted on April 25, 2022 by Ljubica BanićSave a knocked out tooth If you knock out a tooth, you should:– find the tooth.– hold it by the crown (the white bit that sticks out of the gum)– lick the tooth clean if it’s dirty, or rinse it in water.– put it back into position (adult teeth only); never try to re-insert a baby tooth (see below)– bite on a handkerchief to hold the tooth in place.Dr. Banić
