In this video, Dr. Greg A. Leisle, a pediatric dentist in Freson, CA., advises parents on the proper care for a tooth that has been knocked out. Dr. Greg A. Leisle advises that s tooth that is loose in the front, should firm up within 7 to `10 days. If not, the tooth will have to be removed. If a permanent tooth has been completely knocked out, it is imperative to wash the tooth without touching the root, and place it back in the mouth within 30 minutes to avoid permanent loss of the tooth. Following the placement of the tooth back in the mouth, the child should be taken to the dentist immediately so the dentist can fix and position the tooth to its original spot and the tooth can again, "take root." If the tooth has been missing for more than one hour, the tooth will be lost permanently, requiring an implant, due to the trauma. Dental procedures can be done at Greg A. Leisle DDS of Fresno, CA.
