Adult tooth is loose. What should I do?
The best answer I have is, "it depends". Really, it depends how much damage was done and how loose the tooth is. It would be a good idea to see your dentist and get an X-ray as soon as possible to determine if the tooth is fractured or not. If it isn't , he or she may be able to sprint it for a few days until the socket heals. There will always be a possibility that you may need a root canal in addition in order to save the tooth. Let me know if you have any further questions. Dr C READ MORE

Dr. Ceraso is an incredible dentist! He was so understanding and compassionate through my accidental fall where I lost 5 teeth. I appreciate his skill and his manner of working with patients. I feel so fortunate having him as my dentist!
I've used Dr. Ceraso for many years. Dr. Ceraso and his partner Dr. Thorsheim are kind and caring dentists who are knowledgeable about the latest techniques and technology in their field. His staff is outstanding. You will be in good hands if you choose Thorsheim and Ceraso!
Smile and show off the lifelong artwork!

I have been going to Dr. Greg Ceraso since 2006 and highly recommend him! He is an exceptional dentist who truly actively listens to your concerns and is extremely knowledgable and an expert in his field. Dr. Ceraso is very professional, personable and will explain recommendations and educate you thoroughly in an easy to understand manner. I choose to get cleanings every 3 months to prevent having dental issues. I now have more "teeth and gum awareness" and see this as preventative maintenance like any other health and wellness such as fitness, chiropractic treatments, monthly massages, yearly physicals, etc.
The appointment went very smooth for me. Dr Ceraso & his assistant Katie were very kind & gentle. I would highly recommend this office.
Great dentist and staff!!!
