For a knocked-out adult tooth, hold it by the crown, rinse gently without scrubbing, and if possible slip it back into the socket; otherwise keep it in milk and reach a dentist within the hour. For severe pain or swelling, a cold compress and pain relief help until you are seen.
Never place aspirin directly on the gum, and do not ignore facial swelling, which can signal a spreading infection. Call the clinic straight away so we can guide you and see you quickly.
