A grown-up tooth should not wiggle

What might be behind it
Loose teeth in adults always have a reason.
Adult teeth rely on gum and bone around their roots for support. A fall or collision can loosen or shift a tooth abruptly, while advanced gum disease can gradually wear away that attachment over time, often with less drama than you might expect. Bleeding or swollen gums and a change in how your teeth meet may also be part of the picture, so mention anything like that when you call.
West End Winnipeg residents are assessed at our clinic on McPhillips Street. The dentist reviews your history, examines the tooth and its support and takes X-rays when they are needed. Whether a tooth can be stabilized or predictably kept depends on the cause and on how much support remains, and removal is a consideration only when that outlook is poor. You can expect the findings to be explained before any decision.

Timing is useful
Did it follow a knock, or creep up slowly? That difference gives the dentist an early clue.
Support, not just surface
A tooth may look fine while the structures holding it in place are the real concern.
A call comes first
Team members ask focused questions over the phone to understand how urgently it should be seen.

Helpful details about general dentistry in West End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamCan a loose adult tooth tighten up again?
That depends on why it moved and how much support is left. A dentist would need to look before offering any expectation, so please have it examined rather than waiting to see.
Could gum disease be doing this even without pain?
Yes, it could. Gum problems can advance without much discomfort, and frequent bleeding or swelling may be the only earlier warning. An assessment shows how healthy the support really is.
Should I avoid eating on that side?
Favouring the other side for the time being seems sensible, particularly with hard foods. Mention what you have been doing when you call, and ask what the clinic would suggest for you.
My child has a loose tooth too. Is that the same thing?
Baby teeth loosen as part of growing up, so that is usually expected. A child’s tooth that moved because of an injury is different, and you should phone to describe what happened.
If it cannot be saved, what would replace it?
Options may include an implant-supported restoration, a bridge or a removable partial denture. Your bite, neighbouring teeth, bone and priorities all affect what is suitable and when.
Is the form suitable for a West End Winnipeg resident with a moving tooth?
We suggest calling (204) 338-3003, since the online form is not watched continuously. If the tooth has only just started to feel different after an injury, phoning matters even more.
