Avulsed teeth must be replanted immediately to enhance viability of the periodontal ligament cells on the root. With the tooth in place, the athlete should bite down on a towel to maintain stability. The athlete should be taken emergently to a dentist's office or emergency room. The avulsed tooth should not be handled by the root or scrubbed to remove debris. If immediate replantation is not possible, the tooth should be transported in saline solution, milk, or saliva on gauze.
