Can a knocked out tooth be saved? Certainly, and the sooner you can get to your dentist's office the better the chances of saving the tooth. Knocked out teeth with the highest chances of being saved are those seen by the dentist and returned to their socket within one hour of being knocked out.The wives'tale about putting it milk is true. You can also put in a small container of your own saliva. We don't recommend carrying it in your mouth loose due to the risk of swalling it.
Even if your tooth can't be saved, you haven't necessarily lost your smile. Due to advances in dentistry, a dental implant — a freestanding artificial tooth — can now be anchored directly into your jawbone.
