If a dental filling falls out is it okay to put it back?

No. The filling came out because there is something wrong. Either there is decay under or around the filling, which caused it to no longer fit the cavity prep, the bite exerted too much force on the filling breaking it loose, or the filling material used has just worn out. In any case, a new filling needs to be placed, and the cause of the failure needs to be determined and corrected. See your dentist before the tooth requires root canal therapy. That can get very expensive.
