24/7 Help for Knocked‑Out or Loose Teeth in Spokane
Yes — Spokane emergency dentists can often save a knocked‑out tooth if you act within 60 minutes. Call immediately and we’ll coordinate the next‑available appointment. If the tooth cannot be saved, we’ll stabilize the area and outline replacement options.
What To Do Right Now (Step‑by‑Step)
Find the tooth and hold it by the crown (white chewing surface), not the root.
Rinse briefly if dirty — do not scrub.
Keep the tooth moist in milk, saliva, or a tooth preservation kit.
Call our 24/7 line for the nearest emergency dentist.
If a permanent tooth is very loose, avoid touching it; if a baby tooth is knocked out, do not reinsert it.
What Happens at the Emergency Visit
Assessment & X‑rays to check sockets and roots.
Reimplantation when possible, followed by splinting to adjacent teeth for stability.
Tetanus status considered for traumatic injuries.
Pain control and soft‑diet advice for the healing period.
Root canal may be needed later to protect a reimplanted adult tooth.
If the Tooth Can’t Be Saved
The dentist will stabilize the area and discuss replacement:
Dental implant (strong, natural‑looking solution)
Bridge (uses neighboring teeth for support)
Partial denture (budget‑friendly)
Protecting Your Smile After Trauma
Use a custom mouthguard for sports.
Avoid biting non‑food objects (pens, ice).
Treat grinding/clenching with a night guard.
Insurance & Payment
PPO insurance accepted at many partner clinics; we’ll verify benefits.
No insurance? Financing and urgent‑care bundles can make care affordable.

FAQs — Knocked‑Out/Loose Tooth
Is it ever okay to put the tooth back myself?
If you’re sure it’s a permanent tooth and you can place it gently without force, you may reinsert it and bite softly on gauze — then call us immediately.
Can a baby tooth be reimplanted?
No. Doing so could damage the developing adult tooth.
What if only a small chip broke?
Call for a same‑day repair; keeping edges smooth protects your cheeks and tongue.
