Step by step for an adult tooth
- Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root
- If it is dirty, rinse it briefly in milk, saline or saliva
- Put it back in the socket straight away, or keep it in milk
- Don't let the tooth dry out
- Come to the clinic immediately
What about a child's milk tooth?
Never put a milk (baby) tooth back in (IADT guidelines, 2020). Bring your child to the dentist so the mouth and the other teeth can be checked; see children's dentistry in Butwal.
What if the tooth is broken, not knocked out?
Keep any pieces, rinse your mouth and come in the same day.
When is the clinic open?
We are open 7 days a week, 8 AM–6 PM, including Saturdays. Message us on WhatsApp or call +977 974-3679953 on your way.
