Girl's Knocked-Out Tooth Saved After Quick-Thinking Parents Rush to Clinic
A seven-year-old girl in Vladivostok has had her knocked-out tooth successfully reattached after a bicycle accident. Doctors at the Primorsky Regional Dental Clinic performed the delicate procedure, which required quick action from both the parents and medical team. The incident happened when the child fell from her bike, resulting in a complete tooth avulsion. Her parents rushed her to the clinic within 30 minutes—a critical timeframe for replantation success.
At the clinic, a team of specialists—an oral surgeon, a pediatric dentist, and an orthodontist—worked together. Nurses assisted as they cleaned the wound, carried out endodontic therapy, and carefully repositioned the tooth. The tooth was then secured in place to ensure stability during healing.
The swift response of the parents and the coordinated effort of the medical team led to a successful outcome. The replantation procedure offers the girl the best chance of retaining her natural tooth long-term.
