A knocked-out tooth is one of the most alarming dental emergencies anyone can experience. Whether it happens from a sports injury, a fall, or an accident, the sight of a missing tooth can cause panic. However, what you do in the minutes following the injury can make all the difference in saving your tooth. One of the most common questions people ask is: can you put a knocked-out tooth back in its socket yourself? The answer is yes—but with caution and the right technique.
