A dentist can do a couple of things to a bad tooth. If the tooth is salvageable, the part that is bad will be carved or drilled out, then filled. If the entire tooth is bad, then the dentist will simply pry it out and offer options to replace it.

If you knock out a permanent tooth how do you treat this?

If the tooth has just been knocked out and you have the tooth, place it in milk or water and get to your dentist. If you can get to the dentist in time, quite often a tooth can actually be re-implanted. But you have to do it ASAP! If you have the tooth and can't get in touch with your regular dentist, then call any dentist you can get in contact with. There may even be an emergency dentist number in your phone book. But you have to call now!
