If a tooth fragment breaks off, pick it up and take it to the dentist’s appointment with you. But please remember that a whole permanent tooth can be implanted back in your mouth if it comes out. It is important that you act quickly: then the probability of the tooth surviving is higher.
Be prepared in case a tooth injury occurs. Save your dentist’s phone number among your contacts so that you can contact them as soon as you need. We recommend that sports coaches, summer camp managers and parents install the ‘Tooth SOS’ smartphone application, which will help them make the right decisions in a critical situation.
