Avulsed permanent teeth are a true dental emergency!
Treatment by Clinician
If the tooth cannot be reimplanted at the scene, it should be transported in a balanced salt solution (such as Hank's solution), milk, buccal sulcus, or saline to the clinician for reimplantation.
Antibiotic prophylaxis with penicillin or doxycycline for seven days is recommended.
Determine tetanus status. Consider prophylaxis if not updated in past five years.
Immediate referral to a dentist for splinting and follow-up.
