Accidents happen when we least expect them. A fall at the playground or a bump at home... Suddenly, you are holding a piece of a broken tooth, and panic sets in. It is completely normal to feel scared. However, remember that in dental trauma, time and staying calm are the keys to saving the tooth.

So, what should you do in such a situation? As the PYS Dent Kayseri team, here are golden tips that can save a tooth during those moments of panic.

1. Find the Broken Piece

If a tooth is broken, try to find the broken piece immediately. That small piece can often be bonded back to the tooth, restoring its natural structure without needing fillings. Once found, do not wrap it in a tissue; it shouldn't dry out. The ideal place to store it is inside a glass of milk.

2. If the Tooth Is Completely Knocked Out... (Important!)

Sometimes, the impact can cause the tooth to come out with its root. This is a critical moment:

• Hold the tooth only by the white part (the crown). Never touch the root.

• If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently under water for only 1-2 seconds (do not scrub).

• The safest way to transport it is in a glass of cold milk. If milk is not available, keeping it inside the child’s cheek (in contact with saliva) is an option, but be careful of swallowing risks.

3. The Race Against Time Begins

The first 30 to 60 minutes are the "golden hours" for dental trauma. You need to reach a dentist within this time to preserve the tooth's vitality.
