Frequently Asked Questions

In the meantime, take care not to handle the tooth by the root, only touching the crown, as you can irreparably damage the sensitive root structure. Gently rinse any loose debris from the extracted tooth in clean water, taking care not to damage the tooth by scrubbing and if possible replace in the empty socket. If this is not possible, keep the tooth moist by placing it in a clean cloth and immersing it in milk or saliva.

Ensure that you do not take aspirin-containing medications for any pain, as this increases bleeding. Instead take ibuprofen for pain and inflammation management. In the case of a fractured tooth rinse your mouth with warm water and use an ice pack to treat swelling and pain.
