Knocked out teeth...what to do?

My best friend on the West Coast who had 4 YES 4 teeth knocked out by accident last night, it will be a few hours til any dentist offices are open and its already been over 3 hours since it happened so the teeth aren't salvageable. She had apparently had a dizzy spell and passed out, hitting her mouth on the stove, her boyfriend came home and found her, she didn't want to go to the hospital though because of the ridiculously long waits at her local hospital and she doesn't think they have dentists there anyway. She text me telling me what happened and I called her, talked to her BF who was able to tell me all the details. She wants to wait for a dentist and is really worried they won't replace her teeth today though, I wanted to reassure her they would but I don't know either :( Will they replace them today with something?

Knocked out teeth...what to do?
put the teeth in milk, then refrigerate. I think that's the best way to preserve the teeth until seeing a dentist, but try calling one or a doctor to be sure.
Reply:she will probably get false teeth when they see her:)
Reply:I'd be more concerned about the "dizzy" spell. She either was on drugs, which is why she didn't want to go to the hospital or she has a serious medical problem which she is in denial about. Either way, she needs to see a doctor, then a dentist. Her teeth are gone forever and need to be replaced with some kind of prosthetic.
Reply:Do you think, maybe, that her boyfriend hits her? Id be more concerned about that. Seems like something fishy is going on.
