We all know that weird piece of time between the start of an accident and the end of it. The bit when your mind says ‘uh oh’ and everything goes into slow motion. You watch yourself flying through the air and the ground rushing towards your face, you feel the air pushed out of your lungs and then you lie there, very still, trying to work out what’s broken. You gingerly sit up, feel around for cuts, wipe your face and notice things are a bit wobbly in your mouth, or even that there’s blood all over your chin and your lovely white teeth on the ground. If you’ve done your preparation, you will know exactly what to do next: get yourself to the emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire as quickly as you can.

Call us quickly

As soon as you, or your friends, get through to us, it’s important that you tell us what has happened. If you have knocked out teeth, the emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire needs to see you within two hours of your accident so that we can have a chance at getting them put back successfully. Whatever your emergency is, we will do our very best to see you the same day that you call.

Take care of your knocked-out teeth

If your teeth have come right out and are on the ground, you must make sure to pick them up by the crown of the tooth and not the roots. The roots have living fibres attached to them and touching them can cause damage that will hinder them reattaching to the bone in your jaw.

If you can bear to, have a go at re-inserting the teeth in the sockets. If it’s too painful then the best place to store your teeth is inside your mouth. If you can’t do so, store them in some milk in a jar. Never, ever store them in tap water; it will kill the roots.
