First put it under your pillow before you forget then call your dentist and ask why your tooth just decided to abandon ship.

I am going to assume this to be a permanent tooth, which is probably crowned and this crown part of the tooth is what came out or off. Did the crown or coronal portion of the tooth break off, or did the whole tooth, root and all, come out? In any case you will need to see a dentist to find out why this happened and to prevent it from happening to your other teeth, and to see if the tooth can be restored or the crown placed back on. Hopefully this is just a crown that came off, those are much easier to repair. See your dentist soon so you don't develop an infection if the roots are intact.

First, calm the *** down you still have the 31 teeth in your mouth, and second, brush your teeth right now, including the fallen out tooth, and stop the bleeding.
Option 1: get over it, its one tooth
Option 2: Call a dentist, though im not sure theres anything else he can do
Option 3: Use Super glue, and paste it back in.
Option 4: call your dentist,and have him put a "crown"(fake tooth) in place of the fallen out one. IF you cant fix the real one.

rinse it but dont scrub or vital tissue might be lost, then even though it sounds gross place the tooth in the socket until you can get to a dentist. if you tooth doesnt go back in put it in a glass of milk... and get to a dentist asap!

first of all... Go to the restroom and wash out your mouth with water. Don't make the water hot, or cold, just medium.
then, wash the tooth off. you may be able to see if there are any cracks in it or if it just fell out. sometimes your little teeth get pushed out by the big ones because the big one is trying to come out of the gums.
dont worry about it, if you happen to be worried though, call your dentist and make an appointment.
Hope this helps!

... Well. If it was an adult tooth I would go to the dentist. If that's the case, just set up an appointment and keep your tooth in a baggie and explain what happened to your doctor.

if its a baby tooth just rinse your mouth out, and wait for the toothfairy. adult tooth put it in milk and go to dentist.

is it an adult tooth? if so contact the dentist immediately you may not need it, if it is at the back otherwise you could get a screw in. But you must contact your dentist to make sure, to avoid further chaos.

Go to the dentist, depending on which tooth it is, you might need a cap or a bridge.
