Hope they found it but looks like the gum is also a bit ****ed
They got it. Took it to the coffee van to get a cup of milk. Hope it was not soy milk.

When Yeo had his teeth knocked out vs Collingwood at the G they couldn't find the teeth. When he went to get implants they had difficulty securing them due to the damage.
 
can you actually put teeth back in if they fall out??
Yeah. Milk helps preserve it a bit because calcium etc, and then they try to reattach it (kinda the same as reattaching a finger or anything else you might accidentally remove).

Being that it is also a living part of your body it can die if detached for too long though. Doesn’t mean you can’t shove it back in at that point, but it will go grey and not be as pretty as it could be.

Knocked-out adult teeth​

If an adult tooth is knocked out:
  • Handle the tooth by the crown (smooth white part), not the root (yellowish pointy part).
  • If the tooth is dirty, gently rinse it in milk or saline for a few seconds. Do not rinse the tooth with water.
  • Holding the clean tooth by the crown, gently put it back into the hole in the gum (socket). Make sure the pointy yellowish root(s) is the part that goes into the socket.
  • Hold the tooth in place by gently biting on something soft, like a handkerchief.
  • See an oral health professional immediately.
If you can’t replace the tooth yourself:
  • Try not to let the tooth dry out - place it in milk or spit into a clean container and place the tooth in saliva.
  • Seek immediate advice from an oral health professional.
