The most important thing to do is to remain calm and contact your child's dentist in Middletown, NJ.
Start by finding the tooth. Hold it by the crown rather than the root and try to reinsert it in the socket. If damage, swelling, or pain make that impossible, put the tooth in a glass of milk and take your child and the glass immediately to the dentist.
In some cases, we can reset the tooth.
