If any bleeding is present then apply ice packs , carry the tooth in cold milk . Visit a nearby dentist with the tooth . If possible reattach d tooth if it is completely out of the socket . Get an x ray done . If any pain and swelling then need to medicate .

Hi,
If the tooth/teeth have come out completely then you need to rinse out any dirt in water (do not scrub) and keep it in milk.Carry it to your dentist if only a few hours have elapsed.In many cases it may be possible to reimplant the tooth.
If the teeth have partially broken then you will need to see your dentist as these can be repaired with tooth colored fillings or crowns.
In either case and especially in case of swelling,rinse out the wound gently and give cold ice packs.

Hello ! If it was completely out then you can place it in cold milk and take to dentist so that it can be reimplanted with in few hours , but I think you already crossed time . And if it was broken little then there are few methods to restore like either composite buildup or crown depending on the severity .
Next Steps
visit dentist get evaluated with x-rays and then go accordingly

Don't do anything with tooth, & if the tooth is fallen out of the mouth just & the tooth can be reattached only you are supposed to carry it in the cold milk . Is there any bleeding then apply ice pack to the teeth area extraorally. If there is pain & swelling with tooth then you will require immediate consultation with the dentist
After looking the condition treatment plan will be decided.
Next Steps
visit dentist for further clinical examination & radiographic investigations to evaluate the condition.
Health Tips
don't apply anything warm or hot compresses to the tooth area.
