knocked out tooth

Violently removed molar

A knocked out tooth is one that has been completely dislodged from its socket, usually by impact or trauma: The hockey player lost a knocked out tooth to a high stick.

In dental contexts, a knocked out tooth can sometimes be reimplanted if treated quickly—ideally within thirty minutes.
