Save 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.
