Tooth knocked out? Ever wondered what to do if your tooth gets knocked out? Answer = Put it back as soon as possible. If this is done up to 2 hours after the accident then the tooth has a very good chance of making a full recovery. After this time the chances of rejection of the reimplanted tooth rise rapidly. Attending the dentist as soon as possible after the accident to have it checked,and possibly splinted will also help. Antibiotics may also help reduce the possibility of an infection developing in the socket region.
