Suggest Remedies For Loose Front Teeth

I just got my retainer today and 2 hours after my appointment I look in the mirror and one of my top two front teeth is being pushed back and is loose. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get it checked out, but I'm freaking out. Is it gonna fall out? Do I leave in my retainer?

Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

As per your complain it seems that the retainer is putting excessive pressure over your teeth and it is causing backward pressure and loosening of your teeth..
This sudden movement can be harmful and can even cause loss of tooth if the pressure is not relieved from the tooth..

I would suggest you to consult your dentist immediately and if the retainer is removable, do not wear it until you consult your dentist/orthodontist..

Avoid chewing anything hard from the loose tooth to prevent further loosening..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
