What do I do if I knock out my tooth?

If the tooth is a baby tooth, the best thing to do is find the tooth, keep it moist and get to a dentist. Your dentist can see whether the entire tooth, or just part of it, came out. Your dentist can also determine whether to implant it again. If possible, place it in milk, or use a tooth preservation product with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. (Author: ADA)

Then, get to Dr. Tomlinson's office right away.
