Avulsed Tooth


Teeth aren’t meant to be knocked out easily. In fact, the roots of the teeth are connected to your bone structure, meaning they are meant to be a permanent part of your body. So when a tooth is knocked out or dislodged, it’s typically the result of extreme force to the tooth.

In the event of a tooth avulsion, an emergency dental situation can arise. Teeth are often knocked out as a result of car accidents, sports injuries or other trauma-based injuries.

If you have an avulsed tooth, don’t wait to contact an emergency endodontist. The specialists at Greater Endodontics are here to save your teeth, and the sooner we can help, the better.

What is Tooth Avulsion?


An avulsed tooth is when a tooth is completely knocked out of the mouth. This dental emergency should be treated quickly to save the tooth and prevent further damage to the bone and surrounding teeth.

If you experience a tooth avulsion, follow these steps as quickly as possible:

  • If there is bleeding, apply firm pressure for 5 minutes with gauze or a paper towel.
  • Find the knocked-out tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part visible in your mouth), not by the root. Do not touch the root.
  • If the avulsed tooth is dirty, gently rinse it off with water or milk. Do not scrub it or use soap on it.
  • If there is any tissue attached to the tooth, rinse it with saliva or milk. If tissue fragments are attached to the tooth, do not remove them.
  • If possible, try to put the tooth back in its socket and hold it in place with gauze or a paper towel. If you cannot put the tooth back into its socket, place it between your cheek and gums or in milk to preserve the tooth as long as possible.

It is critical to go directly to an emergency endodontist within 30 minutes of experiencing dental trauma so they can reimplant the tooth if possible.

What Causes Tooth Avulsion?

The most common cause for an avulsed tooth is impact on the face. This can occur with, but is not limited to, any of the following incidents:

  • A finger or hard object pressed against the mouth area when an accident occurred (e.g., closed-mouth trauma)
  • Getting struck in the mouth by a ball, stick, elbow, fist, knee, etc.
  • Getting hit in the mouth by a moving object such as a door
  • Falling on one's face (e.g., playground injuries)
  • Motor vehicle accidents (e.g., car crashes)

Dr. Facer was kind, professional and thorough with my appointment. He took the time to answer my questions and seemed like he geniunly cared.
— Joni, Posted October 30th 2024 on google
The facility was clean and well kept. They got me in for my consult only one day after calling in, and even squeezed me in shortly after my consult for a same day appointment for the procedure I needed. Dr. Brockbank put my mind at ease about the whole procedure, and even did some additional testing when I wanted to b...

I just wanted to give a high five to the entire team at Greater Endo! I was getting ready to leave on a trip with my hubs...airline tickets, hotel...everything was already purchased. Of course it was a Friday and I woke up with an abscessed tooth! They went out of their way to get me in that day! The receptionist, de...

These folks are awesome. I found out Saturday, 9/28 that I had an abscess in a tooth that already had a root canal and needed to see an endodontist. I called Greater Endodontics today, 9/30 around 10:30 am and they let me know they could see me today at 2:00. I was in a ton of pain over the weekend so that was a huge r...

— Doris Joy, Posted July 31st 2024 on google
It's strange to say that a root canal was the best dental experience I've ever, had but it's the truth 😂 Staff are extremely kind and caring and truly interested in my well-being. The procedure was explained to me in great detail and I didn't feel any pain, not even the numbing shots! After the procedure, I took ibu...

— C Wariner, Posted July 3rd 2024 on google
I started experiencing pretty intense tooth and jaw pain after a long illness and a particularly stressful few weeks. I came to Dr. Lechiminant feeling fearful and stressed and really put his "bedside skills" to the test. He was so great. . . kind and reassuring and really helped me to understand what was going to ha...

The team, at Greater Endodontics, and Dr. Le Cheminant were very professional and willing to get me in quickly for an emergency root canal. I was in a great deal of pain. I am grateful for their willingness to serve me and take away my toothache. I will definitely use them again.
— Richard Gallacher, Posted April 30th 2024 on google
I’ve had a root canal before & it was a terrible experience. I ended up losing my tooth over it. When I found out I had sensitivity I went straight to greater endodontics. They did a fantastic job. Dr. Facer was compassionate & so comforting. He made the procedure easy & comfortable. I highly suggest them. Especially...

Greater Endodontics really knows how to take care of their patients. I had wonderful experience, and cannot recommend them enough! I am a very anxious person with dental work and Dr. Madsen and his assistant were very kind and caring! Dr. Madsen also did an incredible job on my dead tooth and bringing it back to life! ...

— Krista Parker, Posted April 13th 2024 on google
I was in so much pain from an infection I had. I needed a root canal and they got me in quickly, right before the weekend. I have a lot of anxiety around dental work (from previous bad experiences) but Dr LeCheminant made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Him and his team answered all my questions and worked quickly ...

If this had been the first and only endodontist I had ever been to, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. Dr Brockbank has worked on me several times and has always been very professional, empathetic, and meticulous in his work; which is important with my complex teeth and dental history.

How do You Treat an Avulsed Tooth?


Treatment for a tooth avulsion depends on the age of the patient and severity of the accident.

Typical treatment for an avulsed tooth involves implanting the tooth back into its socket and then splinting it in place for an adult. This is most successful when the treatment begins within 10 minutes of the avulsion.

For a child or young adult, treatment involves placing the tooth in milk and bringing it to the dentist as soon as possible. It may be reimplanted if it is still viable. Sometimes, however, a root canal is necessary.

Reimplantation is not an option in some cases, particularly if the tooth is too damaged to be restored. In this case, dental implants can replace the missing tooth or teeth.

Greater Endodontics: The Endodontist for Your Emergency Needs

Tooth avulsion is not uncommon, but it is a major incident that should not be taken lightly. It is also best treated by experts, not your average dentist. The endodontists at Greater Endodontics are specially trained to be experts in saving teeth, and we offer 24/7 Emergency On-Call so we can respond to a dental emergency when they happen, not days later.

An avulsed tooth can be frightening and a painful experience. Even though an avulsion can be traumatic, acting quickly is the best way to ensure you'll have a better chance at getting your tooth back.

Luckily, Greater Endodontics is here to help. Contact us for your avulsed tooth in Utah today.
