I fell and hit my mouth and my implant is loose and I can pull it out. Can I leave it out until I see a dentist?

Question

It seemed that you have already pull it out.  In that case, do not put it back in since there's a chance that you might swallow it.  Just leave it out and go see your dentist ASAP.
If you did not pull out the implant and it is still in your mouth.  I would then suggest that you leave it in and go see your dentist ASAP.

I believe that you should go see your dentist right away. It's very important that he knows what happened. So, that he can find a solution.
