Is there a way to restore my sister's broken adult teeth ?

My sister was riding bike but she turned too fast and knocked out her adult front tooth. Oddly, the root also came out.

Is there a way to restore my sister%26#039;s broken adult teeth ?
Super glue?


Or you could get her some of these:

Just kidding.. actually if it just happened, you should put in a glass of milk and take her to a dentist right away. If the root and all came out, there could be a chance of saving it. She would have to get stitches in her gums to hold it in until it could heal, and stay away from chewing anything with it for awhile.
Reply:only if you get a fake tooth, they never grow back.
Reply:Seeing as it%26#039;s an adult tooth, unfortunately the only thing she can do is go to the dentist and have a false one made to replace it. I think there are some cased where the tooth can be reinserted but you%26#039;d have to talk to the dentist about it
Reply:if the tooth is completely intact (highly unlikely if it came out completely) then it MAY be possible to surgically reinsert it. call a dental surgeon IMMEDIATELY. the more time you waste the less likly anything can be done. Although considering the personal hell the dentist put me thru to pull my wisdom teeth, I don%26#039;t see how a tooth could simply %26quot;get knocked out%26quot;








btw.....GROSS!
Reply:Baby teeth can sometimes be reinserted, but adult permenant teeth usually can not. If they were to be reinserted, it would have had to have been done immediatly. All she can do now is make sure the bone in her mouth is solid and not damaged. After that she will need either an implant or more likely a bridge. They will shape the teeth on either side and put crowns on them and then a fake one in the middle.
Reply:She needs to go see a dentist and have them take an xray to see if all of the tooth came out. If there is still some of the root there then they will probably have to remove what is left because she will not have enough tooth structure left to really do anything with. Her best option will be to replace the tooth with an implant. An oral surgeon will place the implant in the gums and the bone will attach to the implant. Once that is healed then she will see her general dentist again and he will put some attachment in the implant and have a crown made to cement it to the attachment. The other option is to have a flipper made which is a one tooth partial. It is not very functional and it is hard to eat with it. It is really just for looks.
Reply:Well if she would have keep her teeth after they feel out and put them in milk she could have been able to have them put back in , but she now will probably have to get a partial or dental inplant, I would go with the partial, just my opinion.


Sorry to hear about her accident hope she is ok?
