  • How soon I need to reach dentist for knocked out tooth?

Published on: October 8, 2026

A knocked-out permanent tooth is a dental emergency, so you should contact a dentist or emergency dental service as soon as possible rather than waiting until the next day. The sooner the dental team assesses the tooth, the more options they may have for managing the injury.

If the tooth is completely knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown rather than the root, avoid scrubbing it, and seek urgent professional advice about appropriate storage and transport. Do not delay treatment while waiting to see whether pain or swelling develops.

If there is also significant facial trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing, or other serious injury, emergency medical care may be needed. Dental emergencies require prompt assessment, particularly when trauma is involved.

If a tooth has just been knocked out, call our dentist at Chopade Dental Clinic immediately and explain that it is a dental trauma emergency so they can guide you on what to do while you travel to the clinic.
