What should I do if a tooth becomes loose due to trauma?
Disease description:
Dentistry
When tooth mobility is caused by trauma, an oral examination should first be performed to determine the extent of dental injury. For mild mobility, stabilization measures such as bonding with light-cured resin or wire fixation can be applied, while avoiding chewing with the affected tooth to prevent further loosening, and maintaining good oral hygiene. If the mobility is severe or accompanied by other injuries, extraction of the affected tooth may be necessary. During this process, supportive treatments such as cold compresses and medications may be used to relieve pain and inflammation.
