Reply:It depends on how much of the tooth has fallen out. If it is entirely intact and the bone socket and surrounding gingiva is in excellent shape, the dentist may be able to restore the space using your original tooth. However, it sounds like the tooth has fractured. In this case, the dentist will probably have to restore it with some material like amalgam, composite resin, or a crown. If you injured your tooth enough that the pulp has died from the trauma, it may require a root canal before you put a crown over it.





If the rest of the root and tooth needs to be extracted, the dentist will replace the space with a bridge, implant, or partial denture if you%26#039;re missing other teeth as well. Make sure you get it looked at; the earlier the better!!
