A dentist can do a couple of things to a bad tooth. If the tooth is salvageable, the part that is bad will be carved or drilled out, then filled. If the entire tooth is bad, then the dentist will simply pry it out and offer options to replace it.

If you knock out a permanent tooth how do you treat this?

If you knock out a permanent tooth. it's a dental emergency- here's what you should do immediately: Pick up the tooth carefully- Hold it by the crown (the white part) not the root. Rinse gently- If dirty, rinse lightly with water, but do not scrub or use soap. Try to reinsert- If possible, place the tooth back into its socket and bite down gently on gauze. Keep it moist- If reinsertion isn't possible, store the tooth in milk, saline solution, or inside your cheek. Never let it dry out. See a dentist right away- Contact an Emergency dentist near me within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
