I need to save it until we can get to an affordable dentist. He was on our dental insurance but my husband just took an early retirement package because he is getting laid off and we are shopping for dental insurance. I\u2019m expecting the tooth to go any day but it has hung on longer than I thought. We\u2019re trying to be proactive and look for products that can keep the tooth in good condition if it comes out completely. Our dental insurance should be effective the first of next month and then I can schedule an appointment. I found several products online including Save a Tooth. The description looks like this might do the job for a few days if I keep changing out the solution. I\u2019m pretty good with playing nurse around the house and I think it might work. Does this product work if my son loses the tooth completely, and will it help until we can find an affordable dentist? \u2013 Kasydee<\/p>\n<p>Kasydee &#8211; If the Save-a-Tooth product description indicates that it will keep a tooth alive after it\u2019s been knocked out. It consists of a salt solution that is gentle on tooth ligament and will help keep it alive. The ligament must bekept in good condition to reattach the tooth to the jawbone.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-794\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/affordable-dentist-plano-save-a-tooth-300x291.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Save-a-Tooth for knocked out teeth, from affordable Plano TX dentist Miranda Lacy.\" width=\"300\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/affordable-dentist-plano-save-a-tooth-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/affordable-dentist-plano-save-a-tooth.jpg 542w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>When a tooth is knocked out, the roots shouldn\u2019t be touched. The tooth must be kept moist. It\u2019s important to get dental help the same day. Waiting a few days puts your son at risk for completely using the tooth. The Save-a-Tooth solution and tooth container are designed to preserve and protect the tooth for a limited period\u2014probably two or three hours. Ideally, your son would need to have the kit handy at all times.<\/p>\n<p>If your son loses his tooth days before your dental coverage takes effect, find an emergency dentist right away. If you don\u2019t, the cost of replacing the tooth later will be more expensive than getting prompt treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Even better\u2014get dental help now. If the tooth is loose, it\u2019s possible to secure it with a stint until the roots heal. You will be able to find an <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/affordable-dentist.html\">affordable dentist<\/a> who will work with your budget and arrange a payment plan or financing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/\">Plano, TX dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 20 yr old son has a loose permanent tooth from a sports accident.
