It is important to avoid touching the root area of the tooth.The tooth should be held by the crown area; rinsed in milk,saline,or running water; and reimplanted as soon as possible.The tooth is kept moist during transport to maintain viability.Cold milk is the most desirable medium for transport.The child needs to be seen by a dentist as soon as possible.Tooth evulsion causes a large amount of bleeding.The child will need to be seen by a dentist because of the loss of a tooth,not the bleeding.
