What to Do Right Now (Immediate Steps)

Time is critical. The first 30-60 minutes matter the most. Follow these steps immediately and call us while you’re on your way to Smile Point Dental.

Handle the Tooth Properly

How you touch the tooth can affect whether it can be saved. Follow the steps below as the most critical stage in handling the situation.

Pick up the tooth by the crown only (the white chewing part)
Do not touch the root
Do not scrub, scrape, or dry the tooth
If it’s dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline (no soap, no chemicals)

If you’re unsure, call us right away; we can guide you step by step.

Store It Correctly

Keeping the tooth moist is extremely important. Here’s what you can do:

Place the tooth in a container of cold milk
If milk isn’t available, use saline solution
As a last option, you can keep it inside your cheek (only for adults)
Never store the tooth in water

The right storage can mean the difference between saving and losing the tooth.

Our Emergency Treatment Process

When you arrive at Smile Point Dental, our focus is simple: act fast, reduce damage, and save your smile. Here’s what happens step by step:

Immediate assessment
We examine the tooth, surrounding gums, and jaw to understand the situation.
Gentle cleaning and preparation
The tooth and socket are carefully cleaned to prevent infection.
Reimplantation (when possible)
If conditions allow, we place the tooth back into its socket and stabilize it.
Stabilization and healing support
A small splint may be used to hold the tooth in place while it heals.
Follow-up care
We monitor healing and discuss any additional treatment needed for long-term success.

Cost & Insurance Information

Dental emergencies are stressful, and the last thing you should be worrying about in that moment is cost. When a tooth is knocked out, your focus should be on getting help fast, not on unexpected fees or confusing pricing. From the moment you walk into our Oakville clinic, we take the time to explain your treatment options, expected costs, and insurance coverage in clear, simple terms.

There are no hidden charges and no pressure, just straightforward guidance so you can make the right decision for your health and your smile. Our team is always here to answer your questions and help you move forward with confidence, even in a stressful situation.

Payment Plans Available

If insurance doesn’t cover everything, don’t worry, you still have options. At Smile Point Dental, we offer flexible payment plans designed to make emergency dental care more manageable. Our team takes the time to understand your situation and works with you to find a payment plan that fits your budget and comfort level. There’s no pressure to commit on the spot and no unexpected surprises later.

Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) Accepted

If you’re eligible under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), your emergency knocked-out tooth treatment may be partially or fully covered. This can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs during an already stressful time. Our clinic supports the CDCP and can help you understand what services are included, what portion may be covered, and what to expect before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a knocked-out baby tooth be reimplanted?

No. Baby teeth are usually not reimplanted because they may harm the developing adult tooth underneath. Still, it’s important to visit us so we can assess the area and prevent complications.

How quickly should I see a dentist?

Immediately. The best chance to save a knocked-out tooth is within 30 to 60 minutes, but even after that, treatment may still be possible.

What if I can’t find the tooth?

Still come in. We’ll examine the area, check for fragments, and make sure there’s no risk of infection or further damage. We’ll also discuss replacement options if needed.

Will the treatment be painful?

We do everything possible to keep you comfortable. Local anesthesia is used, and most patients are surprised by how manageable the process feels.

Why Every Second Counts?

Once a tooth is knocked out, the cells on the root begin to die quickly. The faster you act, the better the chance those cells survive, and the higher the chance your tooth can be saved.
