Tooth Injury First Aid

• If a baby tooth is knocked out, do not try to put it back in. Call BalloonDoc 🎈🦷 for guidance and a quick exam.

• If a permanent tooth is knocked out, stay calm:

  • Hold the tooth by the crown (top part) — not the root.

  • Rinse gently with water if dirty, but do not scrub.

  • Try to place it back into the socket and have your child bite gently on a cloth.

  • If you can’t reinsert it, store the tooth in milk or saliva (not water).

  • Call BalloonDoc immediately — time matters!

• If a tooth is chipped or loose, keep any fragments and bring them with you to the appointment.
