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)

10 stars if I could! My family member had a root canal retreated with Dr. LeCheminant. The procedure quick and painless! The doctor was informative and comforting and his assistant (Kim), was amazing as well. The Murray practice is beautiful and southing. They clearly work well as a team, and it shows!

As a dentist, I refer all of my patients living in the Salt Lake area to Dr. Brockbank and his partners at Greater Endodontics. I trust them completely with my patients and my own family members. True professionals who are very talented.

Had to go in for unbearable toothache and get a root canal. The team was so nice and so professional! They got me in same day and explained every part of the process, making sure I was comfortable. I recommend them 1,000%!
— Brandi Marie, Posted January 25th 2023 on google
I would recommend Dr.Madsen & his staff all day. Nobody likes having to have a root canal but they make it easy.
— Crystal, Posted January 24th 2023 on google
I went to a new dentist for a regular cleaning and was told I needed a root canal and had 8 cavities - quoted $4900. Outside of having one cavity my entire life, I have NEVER had any issues with my teeth. So, I was shocked. I ended up getting a second opinion who referred me to greater Endo. Their 3D CT scans can see m...

i had a botched root canal and doctor Brockbank tried to fix it. it was good for a year but problems a sore again from it. i just got out of my appointment and he unfortunately couldn't fix it. i was charged nothing. i had a terrible experience when i was a kid so it stuck with me from then on out. he was a great docto...

Amazing office! Thank you Dr. Brockbank & Haley for the easiest, most comfortable root canal experience ever!
— Sadie Henderson, Posted October 7th 2022 on google
Nobody likes having a root canal, but if you need one - this is the place to go. I’ve unfortunately needed several procedures over the years and I’ve always gone to Dr. Facer. He and the staff are fantastic! Today, due to a small emergency they got me right in and I saw Dr Brockbank - and to no surprise he was als...

Honestly, just for fun I would go and get a root canal from Dr. Matt LeCheminant. I was very nervous going into this procedure, and left with a huge half smile on my face (you know, because the other half was real numb). I was able to watch a a movie on the ceiling, and I truly remember more about the film than I do ab...

The staff today made my visit so much easier than it would have been. Thank you for your kind heart.
— Jess Schenk, Posted August 22nd 2022 on google
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Facer’s for years. Recently, I had a trouble tooth come up, and I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. LeCheminant. They got me in promptly, and took care of all of my needs. World class service and great cost!
— Chase Curtis, Posted July 25th 2022 on google
Great customer service! Cleared all my confusions I had!
— Robert Olsen, Posted July 5th 2022 on google
I have to say, I thought root canals were supposed to be painful. Mine was not at all, it was as delicate as a routine cleaning and just as quick - I timed it. Dr Brockbank started to numb me (painless) and had me out of the office within the hour (and it was my back molar, too). He was attentive, professional an...

This was a very nice dentist office. My experience was quick and as painless as possible! Highly recommend!

Fifteen months ago I had a root canal at a different endodontist in Salt Lake. Ever since that time, my teeth had been in pain. For the past twelve months I have visited with the team at Greater Endodontics four seperate times, specifically with Dr. Matt LeCheminant. Even though the problem was not readily apparent and...

This place was awesome. Very helpful and comfortable. Best part about was the doc is a 49ers fan. Watched Netflix the entire time. The only thing that was missing is a shot and a Beer.
— Brandy Bone, Posted January 28th 2022 on google
I had a very easy going time during my procedure. I really enjoyed the TV mounted to ceiling! It made the visit go much faster and I wasn’t concerned with what they were doing. Great place!
— Chase Cheney, Posted January 3rd 2022 on google
I was referred to Dr. Facer after sustaining a fractured tooth in a biking accident. The staff was friendly, supportive, and great at communicating everything that was going on. Dr. Facer completed a phenomenal root canal on my tooth, all while dealing with the complicated factor of me having a broken jaw/limited openi...

Dr Madsen was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. As a bonus they play fantastic background music (The Killers and Muse!)

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 Tooele today.
