Download Our Knocked-Out Tooth Emergency Guide
Download a printable knocked-out tooth guide for families, with key reminders about baby and permanent teeth and when to seek urgent care.
When a tooth gets knocked out, knowing what to do in the first few minutes can make a real difference—especially if it is a permanent tooth. Quick action, proper handling, and keeping the tooth from drying out can significantly improve the chances of saving it.
To make those stressful moments easier, we created a simple Knocked-Out Tooth Emergency Infographic that you can download, print, and keep handy at home, in a school nurse’s office, classroom, daycare, or sports facility. It explains what to do step by step, including how to handle the tooth, where to store it while traveling to the dentist, and the important difference between a knocked-out baby tooth and a permanent tooth.
We recommend printing a copy before an emergency happens. When a child is injured, it can be difficult to remember instructions clearly—and with a permanent tooth, every minute matters.
Download the guide below, print it, and keep it somewhere easy to find. And if a dental emergency happens, call Teddy Bear Dental Care right away at (805) 529-1000.
A quick reminder
Never reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, contact a dentist immediately and handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If you are unsure whether it is a baby or permanent tooth, seek urgent dental advice.
For major injury, loss of consciousness, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care.
