How can I help tighten my loose front tooth?!
Question: How can I help tighten my loose front tooth.?
A couple days ago I decided to floss because I had something stuck in between my teeth and I brought the floss up and it went over my right front tooth a little and my right front tooth and the tooth on the right of it got loose very little. The tooth to the right of my right front tooth is tight but my front tooth has yet to tighten up. It might be because I was using it a lot with my food. Will it tighten back or do I need a root canal.? Please helpHealth Question & Answer

it should tighten eventually, in the mean time just be careful about eating and brushing and flossing and that kind of stuff. if it doesnt get better see your dentist, or you might just want to see your dentist now if you want a definite answer immediatelyHealth Question & Answer
Well you are talking about your gums not your tooth. Your gums and bone hold your tooth in place which has nothing to do with a root canal. If you loose too much bone you will lose your tooth because there will be nothing to hold it in place. Although sometimes people are to hard on her gums which causes your teeth to me slightly loose. But a root canal will not help anything to help your tooth to stay in place. A root canal only helps replace the nerve of the tooth.Health Question & Answer
