Girl's knocked-out tooth saved after quick clinic response in Vladivostok

A seven-year-old girl in Vladivostok has had her knocked-out tooth successfully replanted after a bicycle accident. Her parents rushed her to the clinic within half an hour, a move doctors say was vital for the procedure’s success. The child was treated at the pediatric department of Primorsky Regional Dental Clinic with her lost tooth in tow. The accident left the girl with a complete tooth avulsion—a total dislodgment from the socket. Upon arrival, a team of specialists, including an oral surgeon, a pediatric dentist, and an orthodontist, immediately began treatment. They cleaned the wound, performed endodontic therapy, and carefully reinserted the tooth before stabilising it securely.

This case follows another recent medical achievement in the region. Earlier, surgeons at Primorsky Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 1 carried out a complex laparoscopic procedure on a teenager suffering from a multiloculated splenic cyst. Both cases highlight the region’s advancing pediatric care capabilities.

The swift actions of the girl’s parents and the clinic’s medical team ensured the tooth could be saved. The successful replantation means she will retain her natural tooth, avoiding long-term complications. Doctors have emphasised the importance of immediate treatment in such injuries.
