This will give you the regrowth but the teeth will look like shark teeth. That might cause some odd looks and be careful not to bite your tongue. You’ll only be able to do that once!

Ha! I bit off my tongue from falling a pretty good height. My knee came up and hit my chin, forcibly closing my mouth on my screaming face.
When I could finally move again (was paralyzed for a bit), and got to the hospital, they just told me to keep my mouth shut. Apparently, your tongue is just a muscle, so it will reattach itself.
It was a shitty few weeks, but at least I didn’t break any bones or land on my head.
Ouch! I did something similar snowboarding in my early 20s. Landed a badly timed jump on to hard, flat snow and slammed my knee into my chin. Thankfully did not catch my tongue, but shattered several teeth!
I remember wondering how I’d ended up with a mouthful of sand and grit. It wasn’t sand.
Yes, my stepmother did that when she was young. Not sure what they did for it but when I met her she had a weird flap of tongue that could flip forward. That part never reattached. It was disturbing and fascinating to 10 year old me.
I couldn’t move my tongue for a few days (to let it reattach) then it was painful for a few more days, then some of it turned white and rotted off over a few weeks. But other than some gnarly teeth shaped scars, it works and functions like a normal tongue after 20 years.
Carrying around a note explaining why I couldn’t talk was also entertaining.
