What should I do if my front teeth fall out?

In fact, in life, many people may lose their front teeth due to various reasons. At this time, the teeth need to be replanted, especially for adults, because the front teeth will not grow again, so this method of tooth implantation is needed.

1. In life, it is not uncommon for teeth to fall out due to falls, collisions or blows. If you encounter this situation, please do not throw away the tooth, because modern oral medicine technology can perform tooth replantation, which can return your tooth to its original position and continue to play its role. Replanting a lost tooth into its original socket is called tooth replantation. If a fallen tooth needs to be replanted, it must of course be complete and the tooth must be completely removed from the alveolar socket. At this time, the fallen tooth must be kept moist. Depending on the conditions at the time, the fallen tooth can be rinsed with tap water and put back into the alveolar socket in time, and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Or rinse the fallen tooth with tap water, put it in a small bottle of tap water or saline solution, or put it in milk or wrap it with a wet towel and go to the hospital immediately.

2. It is worth noting that when rinsing teeth with tap water, you cannot scrub the tooth roots with your hands or cloth. The fallen teeth cannot be wrapped with paper, dry cloth or cotton cloth to prevent damage to the root periodontal membrane. The amount of periodontal ligament is closely related to the success rate of replantation. If the fallen tooth is surrounded by soft tissue or a small piece of alveolar bone, do not separate it from the tooth. This will allow the tooth to receive better nutrition after replantation and the effect will be better. If the tooth root is broken or the tissue around the tooth is inflamed or diseased, or the tooth has fallen out for a long time, the periodontal membrane and pulp have lost their vitality, which will not be conducive to replantation.

3. After a tooth falls out, if the patient can get to the hospital within 1 hour and receive careful and timely treatment from the doctor, dental implantation can not only preserve the tooth but also preserve the vitality of the dental pulp. The success rate of dental implantation is high and the effect is good. If the tooth is repositioned 2 hours after the injury, data reports that approximately 95% of the teeth will experience root resorption and pulp necrosis, and only the tooth can be saved. Teeth can usually be repositioned after 3 months of treatment, restoring their original appearance and normal chewing function. Therefore, after a tooth is knocked out, the patient should not panic and throw the tooth away.
