Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:

Having a tooth knocked out is considered a serious dental emergency and can be caused by things such as a sports injury, a fall, car accident, or fight. Biting very hard on food or ice can also knock out one (or more) of your teeth.

If you have a knocked out tooth, get to your dentist as quickly as possible.
