Detailed explanation-1: -The best mediums to place the tooth is milk. Studies show it does not matter if it is whole, skim, coconut, or almond milk. This will preserve the tooth while getting to your dentist’s office. If you are on a ball field, Gatorade or coconut water will suffice.
Detailed explanation-2: -A knocked-out adult tooth can usually be saved by putting it back in place or in milk as soon as possible, before seeing a dentist.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apply pressure to the area (if it’s bleeding) with a piece of cold, wet gauze. If your child is old enough to follow directions, ask him or her to bite down on the gauze. Offer an ice pop to suck on to reduce swelling, or hold an ice-pack wrapped in a washcloth to the cheek.
Detailed explanation-4: -If you cannot reinsert the tooth, keep the tooth moist by transporting it in milk or the child’s saliva or by wrapping the tooth in a wet cloth.
