When a tooth is knocked out, it is vital that a dentist addresses the injury within 30 minutes of the accident in order to have a chance of saving the tooth.
You must:
Gently rinse the tooth if it is dirty, taking care not to remove any attached tissue fragments.
Or, place the tooth back in to its socket and hold it in place with your fingers or by gently biting down on it. Alternatively, store the tooth in your mouth between the cheek and the gums. If neither of these are possible, immerse the tooth in milk and take it with you to your dentist.
