Dr. Thomas P. Lynch's Expert Contributions
Adult tooth is loose. What should I do?
Whenever you receive trauma to a tooth it is important to see a dentist immediately. Trauma can move it from its original position. It is not the end of the world if you were unable to do this but it may be out of position now. I would recommend that you see a dentist to verify that there was no further trauma done to that tooth or the surrounding teeth (ie. chips or root fractures). If everything looks good with the tooth, it will need to be monitored to watch for potential changes (ie graying, nerve vitality or infection). I hope this helps and good luck. Let us know if we can help. Thomas Lynch, DDS READ MORE
