Frequently Asked Questions

This is an avulsed tooth — call your dentist immediately. Handle it only by the crown, gently rinse off debris without scrubbing, store it in cold milk, and meet your dentist within 30 minutes for reimplantation. You can also store it in your cheek or in a preservation solution (e.g., Save-A-Tooth, HBSS), never water. At Bui Family Dentistry in Southampton, PA, Dr. Alan Bui is available for dental emergencies. Call us at (215) 357-0476, and we will do our best to see you same day, including Fridays and weekends.
