Lost front tooth: from tonight to once it has healed

  1. Tonight
    First aid, then get seen

    Do the first aid above, then get seen within the hour: your dentist, or NHS 24 on 111 out of hours.

  2. Next few days
    Follow up checks

    If it went back in, your dentist may X ray it and usually splints it to its neighbours for a couple of weeks.

  3. Coming weeks
    Follow up and protect it

    Keep it clean, eat soft food, go to every review. Tooth lost? Ask about options for the space.

  4. Once healed
    Decide how to fill the gap

    NHS inform lists a denture, bridge or implant. Some people leave the gap. Compare the choices below.

Questions people ask

Something else? Send us a message.

Who do I call for an out of hours dentist in Glasgow?

NHS 24 on 111. Out of hours in Scotland is Monday to Thursday 6pm to 8am, and Friday 6pm to Monday 8am. They assess you and arrange emergency dental care if needed.

Can a knocked out tooth be saved?

Sometimes, if an adult tooth goes back in quickly. NHS inform says the sooner it goes back, the more likely it is to settle.

My tooth fell out on its own. Is that serious?

An adult tooth falling out without injury usually has a cause, such as gum disease or decay. See a dentist to check the teeth next to it.

Should I go to A&E for a knocked out tooth?

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde asks people not to go to A&E for dental pain alone. A&E or 999 is for a head injury, heavy bleeding or a serious face or jaw injury. For the tooth itself, your dentist or NHS 24 on 111.

Can your clinic see me tonight for a knocked out tooth?

No, we cannot help with an injury. Once a dentist has checked the gap and it has healed, we can make a cosmetic cover.

Once it is checked, smile again.
