Wondering about a child knocked out tooth what to do steps? Stay calm and act fast — for a permanent tooth, minutes matter:

  1. Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part), never the root.
  2. If dirty, rinse gently with milk or water. Don't scrub.
  3. For a permanent tooth: try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in a cup of milk.
  4. For a baby tooth: don't reinsert it — store it in milk and bring it with you.
  5. Call your emergency pediatric dentist Shreveport or Bossier City office immediately. Per the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a permanent tooth has the best chance of being saved within 30-60 minutes.
