Another dream of decay (how many of these do I have?).

A tooth midway down the bottom right side of my mouth is loose, and I inadvertently wiggle it and it comes out.

I'm with people who recommend leaving it at home, and I do, just out somewhere like on the counter or something

Later, someone tells me that I should see the dentist right away to get the tooth put back in, but I can't go home right then and I get nervous and realize that I should have placed it in milk in order for that to happen.

Then, I can feel the gap where the tooth is, and I'm filled with this sad feeling that it will be there forever, but it wouldn't have been if I had handled everything properly from the start when I lost it.
