Tooth avulsions can occur in contact or collision sports. An avulsed tooth is a medical emergency. The likelihood of survival of the tooth depends on the length of time that the tooth is out of the socket and the degree to which the periodontal ligament is damaged. The tooth should be handled only by the crown end and not the root end. It can be rinsed of debris with water or normal saline solution. The tooth should not be brushed or cleaned otherwise. 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. The tooth and the athlete should be transported to the dentist for reinsertion as soon as possible and preferably within an hour.
