im really sorry to hear that =[
if she knocks out a tooth put on baby oragel. it stops pain and bleeding. you may not need to take her to a dentist because the tooth will grow back and all you need to do is clean her mouth and put oragel on. it sort of numbs the mouth and helps it. if you take her to the dentist or ER they will probably clean her mouth up and maybe numb it. i dont know but i hope it never happens again. i hope im right. and they have the oragel at any store usually

You take her to the ER if it is excessively bleeding. Once in the ER they will put pressure on it, to stop the bleeding. They will have a doctor check if any part of the tooth has been has gone into the gum or poking at it. Then they will see if they can do anything else to help if its hurting. Then if it doesn't hurt anymore they will let you go home. They will say to go to the dentist if you want, but you won't have to

If she ever does knock out her tooth, if it is still in one piece, take her and the tooth to a hospital somewhere and they should enveavour to put the tooth back into her mouth and try to save it. If it is broken, though, and the bleeding won't stop, they might put a stitch into the gum to stop the bleeding.

With baby teeth they don't do anything.My son lost a front tooth when he was 36 months.I was totally shocked when it grew back 6 months later.The dentist said it is common for baby teeth to replace them selves but not all children are so lucky some end up with a gap until the permanent tooth comes in.

Take her to the ER along with the tooth as quickly as possible.
They can sometimes reattach the tooth if you get there quickly enough.
