This is completely safe and is a normal occurrence for those that are uncomfortable in a surgery environment.

I have just lost my tooth, is it salvageable?

The loss of a tooth resulting from major trauma, in most cases, can be saved, however, timing is critical. Teeth can be placed back into the mouth, however, if it has been 30 minutes since the impact, the chances of saving your tooth begins to decline very quickly. It is also advisable that you store the tooth in either milk or a milk solution to protect it, and not water.
