🚨 DO THIS RIGHT NOW — Emergency Steps
- Find the tooth — pick it up by the CROWN (white part), NOT the root
- Gently rinse with water if dirty (do NOT scrub or remove tissue)
- Try to put it back in the socket — bite on a handkerchief to hold it in place
- If you can't reinsert it — put the tooth in:
- 🥛 Cold milk (best option — available at any convenience store)
- 💧 Saliva — hold it inside your cheek
- 🧂 Saline solution — if you have contact lens solution
- ❌ Do NOT put it in water, tissue, or let it dry out
- CALL US: +82-2-756-2828 — We'll prepare for your arrival

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a knocked-out adult tooth really be saved?
Yes! If the tooth is kept moist and reimplanted within 30-60 minutes, success rates are high. This is why acting fast is critical.
What if it's a baby tooth that was knocked out?
Baby teeth are NOT reimplanted. But you should still see a dentist to check for damage to the developing adult teeth underneath.
I can't find the tooth — what now?
Come in immediately anyway. We'll assess the socket, control bleeding, and discuss replacement options (temporary flipper, bridge, or future implant).
