If a tooth has fallen out and left a hole between your teeth — even without pain — it’s important to have it checked promptly to avoid complications like infection, gum damage, or shifting of nearby teeth.
Here’s what you should do:
See a dentist as soon as possible — preferably within a few days.
If you have a regular dentist, contact their office directly.
If not, visit a general dentist or an emergency dental clinic.
Keep the area clean:
Rinse with warm salt water twice a day.
Avoid poking the area with your tongue or fingers.
Brush gently arou...nd the site.
Avoid smoking or sugary foods — they increase infection risk.
Even without pain, an empty socket can trap food and bacteria, so don’t delay the visit. The dentist can assess whether the tooth needs to be replaced (e.g., with a bridge, implant, or denture) and confirm if the gum is healing properly.

If a tooth has fallen out and left a hole, even if it's not painful, it's important to have it checked to avoid future complications.
You can go to any general dentist, they can examine the area, assess the situation, and recommend the best option, whether it's a filling, a temporary solution, or planning for something like an implant, bridge, or partial denture if needed.
Don’t wait too long, even without pain. getting a professional opinion early can prevent more complex problems later.

Hello. If your entire tooth fell, roots included, find a periodontist(Parodontologue). If the roots are still in the jaw, then call your dentist and ask for a crown, a bridge, or an implant. Have a good day.
