Avulsed teeth.
Avulse = from the Latin avuls: "to pluck off, to tear away, to forcibly pull."
These teeth have been traumatically removed from an individual who fell from a balcony, landing face first.
If your child ever traumatically avulses his/her teeth you should place the tooth/teeth in saline, milk (some say), or saliva and go to the dentist or emergency room promptly. If they are adult teeth (permanent teeth) they can be replanted and secured with some success (depending on the timing).
Remember, primary/"baby" teeth should NOT be replanted, as they may injure the developing permanent teeth underneath.
