It may or may not happen, but if you have a tooth knocked out at any time, it’s best you are aware of what to do should it happen, because what a lot of people may not be aware of is that if is popped back in within around 12 hours, it will naturally bed-in again and you’ll be as right as rain. If this happens to you, and this is easier said than done, try not to panic. If you can, you can put it back in yourself, but normally you need to get somewhere in Leeds- like a dentist or hospital, where it can be done for you. It is imperative you do not touch the root when you pick it up; if possible put the tooth in milk. If you can’t do this, then simply slip it under the tongue or between your cheek and gums, as the saliva in your mouth will naturally protect it. Time is of the essence here; by having your tooth placed back into place again means you will be saving yourself money from getting it replaced by a bridge or a partial denture in the future. Find out as much as you can about this- the more you know, the better it will be for you to make an informed decision should you find yourself in this shock of a situation.
