For anyone else, having a tooth accidentally knocked out while practicing a dance routine would be a very <\/strong>big deal. But not for Dancing With The Stars <\/em>contestant Noah Galloway. Galloway, an Iraq War veteran and a double amputee, took a kick to the face from his partner during a recent practice session, which knocked out a front tooth. As his horrified partner looked on, Galloway picked the missing tooth up from the floor, rinsed out his mouth, and quickly assessed his injury. \u201cNo big deal,\u201d he told a cameraman capturing the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, not everyone would have the training \u2014 or the presence of mind \u2014 to do what Galloway did in that situation. But if you\u2019re facing a serious dental trauma, such as a knocked out tooth, minutes count. Would you know what to do under those circumstances? Here\u2019s a basic guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a permanent tooth is completely knocked out of its socket, you need to act quickly. Once the injured person is stable, recover the tooth and gently clean it with water \u2014 but avoid grasping it by its roots! Next, if possible, place the tooth back in its socket in the jaw, making sure it is facing the correct way. Hold it in place with a damp cloth or gauze, and rush to the dental office, or to the emergency room if it\u2019s after hours or if there appear to be other injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it isn\u2019t possible to put the tooth back, you can place it between the cheek and gum, or in a plastic bag with the patient\u2019s saliva, or in the special tooth-preserving liquid found in some first-aid kits. Either way, the sooner medical attention is received, the better the chances that the tooth can be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a tooth is loosened or displaced but not knocked out, you should receive dental attention within six hours of the accident. In the meantime, you can rinse the mouth with water and take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication (such as ibuprofen) to ease pain. A cold pack temporarily applied to the outside of the face can also help relieve discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When teeth are broken or chipped, you have up to 12 hours to get dental treatment. Follow the guidelines above for pain relief, but don\u2019t forget to come into the office even if the pain isn\u2019t severe. Of course, if you experience bleeding that can\u2019t be controlled after five minutes, dizziness, loss of consciousness or intense pain, seek emergency medical help right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as for Noah Galloway: In an interview a few days later, he showed off his new smile, with the temporary bridge his dentist provided\u2026 and he even continued to dance with the same partner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
