If your tooth falls out you should replace it immediately. If you do this within 5 minutes it may replant itself successfully.

If you can't replace it you should go immediately to a dentist or even a doctor. The tooth can be kept in milk as milk keeps the ligament cells viable for up to 3 hours.

The tooth can also be held In your mouth (don't swallow it!).

Does milk help neutralize inhaled dust and toxins?

No1) Milk will flow into your stomach, from where the digestion of the milk will start. The milk will be split up into molecules of amino-acids and sugars. These molecules are not neutralizing nor detoxing in nature.2) As written above, milk will flow into your stomach. Inhaled dusts and toxins will, obviously, go to a persons lungs, which is a completely different place. When the milk is in the stomach, and the toxins in the longs, there is no way the milk would be detoxing.IF you suspect that you have inhaled dangerous toxins or chemicals, you should seek help.

What does bacteria in milk cause?

Bacteria in milk gives you Crohn's diease.Bacteria are around us everywhere. Bacteria live around us, on us, andinside us. Bacteria in milk can come from the cow, or get in to the milkafter it leaves the cow. A process called "pasteurization" kills some of thebacteria to make the milk last longer before it spoils.The exact cause of Crohn's disease is not known. So it's not quite right tosay that milk, or bacteria in milk 'cause' Crohn's disease. Eating milk orother foods might make some people with Crohn's disease sick, but the causeof the disease is still not fully understood by scientists.The bacteria in milk are beneficial in a lot of ways -- bacteria make milkproducts like cheese. Bacteria in our guts help to keep us healthy bykeeping disease-causing bacteria out. In cows, bacteria help digest thegrass they eat. There are tons of ways bacteria are helpful, and these arejust a few!

Can an adult ever lost a tooth and then another tooth grows back in its place?

Depending on why you lost your tooth, if you never lost all of your baby teeth (just because you have teeth under your baby onesdoesn't mean your going to lose them (two of my teeth were growing in a way they wouldn't push my baby teeth out and at 17 I got them pulled and within a month they were fully grown in)) and your tooth eventually falls out because of the pressure from the tooth growing under it, or if by chance the tooth that you "accidentally lost" is a baby tooth, AND there is a tooth under it then yes. Other wise no. Go to a dentist. You actually born with tooth buds inside your gums, your milk tooth buds are almost completed forming but the adult teeth have only started. The reason your milk teeth fall out is because the adult tooth bud has finished growing and crushes the root of the milk tooth. Some people are born without adult tooth buds. Count yourself lucky :/
