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!).

Can you save a tooth in chocolate milk after it has fallin out?

Yes, you can save a tooth that has fallen out by placing it in chocolate milk, as it helps to keep the tooth moist and may preserve the root cells. However, the best option is to place the tooth in a container of milk or saline solution, as these are more effective at maintaining the tooth's vitality. It’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible for the best chance of reattachment. Avoid cleaning the tooth or handling it unnecessarily.

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 :/
