At Smiles Nambour we refer to a knocked-out tooth by its technical name – an “avulsed” tooth.
This is one of the most serious dental emergencies for permanent teeth, as avulsed teeth can be permanently lost if not treated quickly.
The good news is that in most cases the damage can be fixed. If you act quickly, there’s a good chance the tooth can be saved.
What You Can Do
When a tooth is knocked out, there is damage to more than just the tooth itself. Nearby nerves, blood vessels, and supporting tissues are also damaged.
