Suggest Treatment For Loose Lower Incisor Teeth

Posted on Thu, 6 Aug 2015

Question: Hello Doctor,
Today night my lower incisor (left) tooth has become loose due to teeth collision during sleep (I was watching a dream). Now, it is a bit loose, and I'm scared. Please help.

Brief Answer:
Do gum massage

Detailed Answer:
Hi

thanks for writing in.

I understand your problem & you might have habit of bruxism that is tooth clenching at night.Currently do gum massage with gum tone gel or other good gum paint on associated tooth. If this recurrs then go for mouthguards to prevent your teeth from such trouble in future.
Consult orthodontist for further treatment plan.

Hope I answered your query

Wishing you good health

Regards
