Milk or saline..what is a better option to keep an avulsed tooth in?

whenever a child falls saline would not be easily available. Milk is the only option.

Furthermore if the avulsed tooth is outside for a long period or is contaminated it is unlikely that it can be fixed back in the socket.

what is the success rates of avulsed teeth?

The success rate depends on many factors. One of the factors is how long a time the tooth is out of the socket and the contamination of the socket and the tooth.

Till date I have fixed back three avulsed teeth. Two have succeeded and one was infected and had to be extracted within a month.
