Any dental issue causing severe pain, bleeding, or affecting your ability to eat, sleep, or function normally should be treated as an emergency using our IAOMT-certified biological dentistry protocols and Biocomp Labs tested materials.

If not, keep it moist in milk, saliva, or saline solution. Avoid storing in water.

We’ll recommend the safest, most effective approach for your specific situation while supporting your body’s natural healing processes.
