Knocked-Out Tooth in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

A tooth knocked clean out of its socket is one of very few dental situations measured in minutes. Pick it up by the crown rather than the root, rinse it without scrubbing, and keep it moist in milk or saliva on the way to us. Reimplantation works best inside the first hour and the odds fall away steadily after that.

At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens office reimplants and splints teeth to stabilise them while the ligament reattaches, and we treat teeth pushed loose or partly out of position the same way. Most reimplanted teeth later need root canal therapy once the nerve supply has been cut.
