Can a knocked out baby tooth be reimplanted into the tooth socket?

A baby tooth lost due to trauma will not survive if reimplanted into the mouth. The tooth will either become infected or it will fuse to the bone and cause a problem for the child. Permanent teeth however, should be reimplanted into the socket as quickly as possible if they become dislodged.
