<s>[INST] Hi, my name is Christina.  I was recently assaulted and in result of that one of my tooth is loose and the other had fallen out.  I had to see an oral surgeon, they shoved the tooth that had fallen out  and they put some sort of bridge on my mouth holding my teeths in place, will my teeths be saved. [/INST] Thank you for your query Christina, Usually, when one lose their tooth it is recommended that they should keep the tooth in mouth in saliva or out it in milk in order to save the periodontal membrane which is essential for reattachment to bone in case the tooth is put back in socket. The oral surgeon has put it back and attached (splinted) it with other teeth so that it will not be disturbed during healing process. He is hoping that the concerned tooth will attach with the socket. This is akin to using a split during fracture. So lets hope that the tooth will be saved, and you will get your smile back. </s>
