If a tooth goes flying due to a tumble or during playtime, it's not immediately a lost cause – there is a possibility the body may accept it back as one of its own, dentists told Sun Health. <\/p>\n

According to Nikki Jurcutz – the ex-paramedic behind the child and baby first aid page Tiny Hearts Education – all you need is glass of milk to rectify things. <\/p>\n
