Half of my tooth just randomly got loose?!

Question: Half of my tooth just randomly got loose?

Just a few minutes ago I was eating a pretzel and all of a sudden i feel something in between my teeth and think its food, but it's a piece of my tooth that got loose! It's a small portion of the bottom left molar. What should I do.

Answers:

Hi there,
Sounds like you broke off a cusp of your molar. Is is sensitive to hot or cold? Does air bother it when you breath in?
Make sure to call you Dentist in the morning and go and get it checked out. They will take an x-ray to make sure the root is ok and it there is a hairline fracture, they may need to extract it. If no crack in the tooth structure they can fill it or depending on how much broke off, they may need to crown the tooth.

Good Luck!

Call your dentist and make an appointment. You need to have your tooth fixed.
