See a dentist right away. You might need a temporary retainer to keep the tooth still for a bit so it can stabilize. Really a professional oral care person is the best to see in such a situation. Be carefull of biting down on anything hard or chewy til you see one. You don't want to risk loosing your tooth. Plus they can see a tiny crack in the tooth that you cannot. Always better to have it checked out. There is nothing to make the tooth strong. And unless you have an xray you cannot know what shape the root is in really.

Where you playing against Zinedine Zidane?
I am not too sure! I have a front tooth which sustained trauma, as well. Did you require a root canal? Definately go to the Dentist! Perhaps drink milk?

Your dentist should be able to tell you , ask him/her for some advice. They probably can prescribe something for you. I'm glad there was no damage to the root.
