Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root
Rinse it gently with milk or saline if dirty
Do not scrub, dry, or wrap the tooth
Try to place the tooth back into the socket if possible
Bite gently on gauze or a clean cloth to hold it in place
If reinsertion is not possible, keep the tooth in milk, saline, or inside the cheek if safe
Get to a dentist or emergency room immediately
Seek care within 30 to 60 minutes if possible
Control bleeding with gentle pressure using gauze
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
Avoid touching the root or letting the tooth dry out
Do not store the tooth in water
