Urgent Care for Dislodged Teeth: Elmira Root Canal Specialists
When a tooth gets knocked out during a hockey game or other accident, every minute counts. At Elmira Endodontist, our team of endodontists understands that a dislodged tooth is a true dental emergency requiring immediate attention.
“The critical window for successfully replanting a tooth is just one hour,” explains Dr. Karpinski, endodontist at Elmira Endodontist. “The sooner we can get the tooth back in its socket, the better chance we have of saving it.”
If you experience a knocked-out tooth:
- Gently rinse the tooth with water if it’s dirty (don’t scrub it)
- If possible, carefully place it back in its socket
- If you’re uncomfortable doing this, store the tooth in milk or Hank’s solution
- Call our emergency line immediately
Our specialized team has extensive experience treating dental traumas and performing root canal procedures necessary to save dislodged teeth. We offer same-day emergency appointments for these situations.
