put it in milk call your mom and see the dentist asap

You should put it on a milk, water or keep it some where in your mouth and go to your dentist, oral surgeon or hospital asap. Do not try to place it back on the socket. To stop the bleeding put some pressure with a gauze or cotton ball.

Get to the dentist immediately. Your dentist will make time to see you right away.

If the tooth is whole, place it in milk and take it with you to the dentist. Sometimes they can replant the tooth, but you only have a short window of time to do so. For the bleeding take some guaze (look in your home first aid kit there should be some in packages), fold it into a small enough square to fit in the missing tooth spot. Bite together on the guaze. You want to apply firm, but gentle pressure on the socket to help ebb the bleeding.

...Hello.....Two options...Do Nothing....or....see a dentist...You didn't say when this happened but you either need to be rinsing your mouth with salt water or not leaning over your keyboard....bloody ones get slick and hard to use.

Place your tooth in a cup of milk. The calcium content of the milk will help to preserve the tooth.

(If you do not have access to milk right away, you can store the tooth inside one cheek, just long enough to get to the emergency room. Be careful that you do not swallow the tooth.)

Place a CLEAN cotton ball, steril gauze or even wadded-up tissue into the tooth socket, and apply pressure to minimize the bleeding. (Depending on the location within your mouth, you may be able to bite down on this to apply pressure to the injured area.)

Try not to swallow much blood, as this can upset your stomach.

Seek medical attention immediately.

Do not attempt to reinsert your tooth in its empty socket yourself, as this may cause infection.
