If you knock out a tooth, act fast! Pick up the tooth by the crown (top part), not the root. If possible, rinse it gently with water and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or a saline solution and visit an emergency dentist within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
If you chip or break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and try to save any broken pieces. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and see an emergency dentist of Colorado Springs as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
