If your adult teeth get knocked out how long does it take for it to grow back?

Answer 1

First, track down that tooth! You can actually take it to the dentist and have it reimplanted, provided that you handle your knocked-out tooth somewhat delicately.

Once you’ve found the tooth, be careful cleaning it off—it’s best to just gently rinse it with milk or a saline solution so that you don’t accidentally damage it further. Try not to touch the roots.

On your way to your emergency dentist appointment, keep the tooth in its original socket, if that’s possible. And if not, a little container of milk is a great tooth receptacle—the milk’s sugars can feed the cells, keeping them alive until they can get reimplanted.

If all goes well with the reimplantation, your tooth can be healed in two months.

Answer 2

More than five million teeth are knocked out every year in children and adults but if this happens to you due to an injury or accident it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s lost for good. Proper emergency action can save the tooth so that it can be replanted successfully and last for years to come.

Answer 3

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth is an emergency that requires immediate medical attention. If these emergency tips are followed right after a tooth has been knocked out, there is a good chance that the tooth can be saved.

• The tooth should be picked up by the top of the tooth (crown). The root of the tooth should not be touched.
• Gently rinse the tooth off with plain water to clean it. Make sure you cover the drain so the tooth doesn't accidentally go down the drain.
• The tooth should not be scrubbed or any attached tissue should not be removed.
• Gently place the tooth back into the socket in the correct position, if possible. Gently try to bite down on gauze to hold it in position.
• If it is not possible to put the tooth back into its socket, place the tooth into a container with milk, warm salt water or your own saliva. Get to a dentist immediately, preferable within one hour.
• Call your dentist immediately. The longer you wait for implantation, the less likely you will be able to save the tooth.
