Tooth avulsion is a medical emergency. Survival of the tooth partially depends on the length of time that the tooth is out of the socket. Water or saline can be used to gently rinse off debris, but the teeth should not be brushed as this may damage the root. During transport, the tooth must be kept moist. An avulsed tooth can be transported in whole milk, saliva, sterile saline solution, or commercially available kits with physiologic buffer solutions.
