Loose tooth, would it heal itself?!


Question: I recently got a punch in the mouth, and my front tooth is loose from the gum. It's not as loose as to fall off, but it moves and hurts very much when it does. Would it heal itself eventually?

You need to go see your dentist and have an x-ray taken to make sure everything looks ok. After that it's best to let your dentist tell you what should be done about the mobility (they might leave it alone or they might splint it to another tooth--just like when you jam a finger or break a toe). It's possible that it could heal itself but you should be evaluated to make sure that nothing else happened to the tooth or surrounding structures. Best of luck!

Go see a dentist.

Go to the dentist he'll do something about it.

I would go to the dentist cause the root may die and then the tooth will.

go see a dentist can suggest anything greater than this.

see denitst first

i think, tooth replacement is necessary
