    Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:
    Your ability to return to normal activity after treatment for a knocked out tooth depends on the severity of your injury and the length of time of your treatment plan. If your injury was severe and you have numerous visits to your dentists with several phases of treatment, then you may be restricted from playing contact sports or eating hard foods. The goal of reattaching a knocked out tooth is long term success. So you don't want to risk reinjury by returning to normal activity too soon. Your dentist can tell you when you should return to normal activity based on your specific injury and treatment plan.
