One of my teeth just got knocked out with a baseball about an hour ago and it stopped bleeding. Just out of curiosity, what would you do if a tooth gets knocked out normally?

Put it in milk and get to dentist ASAP

Go to the hospital first...for a couple reasons. First you they know their open and equipped to see an emergency. Whether or not they can fix it, they can elevates any discomfort. See what happens there. Then you should go see a good Periodontist, they can repair or replace the tooth.
Second reason...insurance. If a tooth or jaw bone is being repaired because of a documented accident it can be covered under medical insurance. Handy if you do not have dental insurance. You have to have the accident reported from the hospital or medical doctor and the damage to the mouth has to be in the report being submitted to insurance. It may be a drawn out process but them paying for tooth repair is better than you paying.

If you want to save you're tooth then put it in milk and go to the dentist asap. If you don't care then do nothing. You can always have a replacement made.
