Dental emergencies can occur at anytime but the fact is, many people have no idea how to handle a dental emergency when one occurs. I was at a slow pitch game last weekend, and watched a girl take a line drive right in the kisser. The result? Her upper upper front tooth was completely knocked out. How was it handled? I hate to say it, but I felt really embarrassed watching how this situation was handled. It was very clear that not one person knew what to do in the case of a dental emergency.
Have you ever witnessed a serious dental emergency occur? Do you know what to do with a tooth that has been knocked out? I have put together a comprehensive guide that explains what you should do in the event that a serious dental emergency occurs.

Great guides, it’s nice to see you made the distinction between when you should got to the emergency room and when to head to the dentist, most people would just assume go to the dentist when they’re not necessarily the best option.
Thanks for the post Shawn. It’s a shame when people don’t know what to do and the person loses a tooth as a consequence.
My nephew knocked his front tooth loose while skiing. My brother-in-law wasn’t sure what to do. He plucked it out and put it in his pocket.
I wrote a similar Dental Emergency Guide to help people know what steps to take in a dental emergency.

Thanks for the helpful info. It’s amazing to think that a tooth can be replaced. I’ve even heard of people accidentally replacing a tooth backward just to save it, and then the dentist would shave it down and cap it to make it look straight. Have you run into this?
