A knocked-out adult tooth is a genuine dental emergency. The sooner it is assessed and treated, the better the opportunity may be to save it.
At Pristine Dental Group, we provide emergency dental appointments for dental trauma in London 7 days a week, with same-day appointments available where possible.
If an adult tooth has been completely knocked out, contact us immediately.
Open 9:00 am – 5:30 pm, 7 days a week
Same-day appointments where available
Even if a tooth looks intact after an accident, the nerve, root or surrounding bone may still have been affected.
Sometimes, yes.
The chances depend on how quickly treatment is received, how long the tooth has been outside the mouth, how it was stored, damage to the root, damage to the socket and surrounding bone, and the severity of the injury.
This is why a knocked-out adult tooth should be treated as time-sensitive.
If a traumatised tooth cannot be predictably retained, we can discuss replacement options.
In selected cases, immediate implant placement following extraction may also be considered, depending on the injury, bone and surrounding tissues.

Keep it in saliva and seek emergency dental care immediately.
