What should I do if I knock out a tooth in Chula Vista?

Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and keep it moist — ideally in a glass of milk or between your cheek and gum. Call an emergency dentist in Chula Vista, CA immediately. Reimplantation is most successful within 30–60 minutes of the injury.

When in doubt, call a Chula Vista emergency dentist — most practices will advise you over the phone whether you need immediate care.
