Don't panic!<\/h2>\n<p>You were enjoying your favourite activity when suddenly a small accident causes one of your teeth to break or shift. The feeling can be frightening and confusing. But before you jump the gun, did you know that there are ways to deal with this situation? In this article, we'll take you step-by-step through \u00abhow to deal with a broken or displaced tooth\u00bb. But before we get to it, there's something you need to know...<\/p>\n<h2>Why do teeth break or shift?<\/h2>\n<p>Teeth can break or shift for a variety of reasons, from a direct blow to biting down on something very hard. However, there is hope. Before delving into \u00abhow to fix broken teeth\u00bb, it is crucial to understand the causes to prevent future incidents.<\/p>\n<h2>First aid for a broken or displaced tooth<\/h2>\n<p>Do not touch the root. If your tooth has fallen out, pick it up by the crown (the part you normally see in your mouth). Avoid touching the root, as this can damage the cells needed to re-implant it.<br \/>\nRinse, but don't scrub. Use warm water to gently rinse the tooth, but do not scrub or use soap.<br \/>\nReintegrate the tooth (if possible). If you can, put the tooth back in its socket, making sure it is in the right direction.<br \/>\nSave the tooth. If you cannot reinsert it, place it in milk or saline solution to preserve it.<br \/>\nGo to the dentist immediately.
