The best way to preserve a PERMANENT TOOTH that has been knocked out is to put it back into its socket as QUICKLY as possible. Re-implantation is BEST AT THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT within 15 minutes to ensure a favorable outcome. You still must take the patient to a dentist. If it’s not possible to re-implant the tooth the next best option is to carefully pick up the tooth by the crown (avoid touching the root) and put the tooth in a cup of saline solution or fresh cold milk, and get to a dentist as soon as possible.
