Is there any chance my wobbly tooth firms up?+
That depends on why it became loose and how much support remains. Treating the cause may help in some cases, but it cannot be predicted without an examination, so ask what is realistic for that tooth.
Is a loose tooth always caused by gum disease?+
No. Gum disease is one possible cause, but bite forces, a fractured root and infection can also be involved. An assessment looks for the reason instead of assuming one.
If several teeth are loose, will they all have to come out?+
Looseness alone does not settle that. Each tooth is considered according to its support, its condition and its role in the plan, and you may ask for the reasoning behind any recommendation.
Can implants go in where a loose tooth used to be?+
Sometimes, though bone and gum health need to be evaluated first, and healing stages may extend your timeline. Your medical history is part of deciding whether implants are suitable.
Should I avoid chewing on the loose side until I am seen?+
Phone the clinic for advice about your specific tooth, particularly if it is getting worse, hurts or followed an injury. A staff member can talk through the next step with you.
