What happens if you leave a loose tooth in?

i was eating a granola bar last night and bit down and felt a crunch. now my front tooth is loose. not loose enough to pull out. but loose enough that if i push on it with my tounge it causes pain. will it tighten back up? or will i have to have it removed a get a partial or a bridge? thanks!

You need to go see your dentist. Whenever a tooth goes through trauma like that you can cause your tooth to die. You may end up needing a root canal if the nerve does die. The tooth should tighten back up on its own but if you notice your tooth starting to turn gray in color then the nerve of the tooth is dead and you will then need a root canal. Good Luck and I hope that you don't have anymore problems with your tooth.

Reply:You might have a piece of granola bar stuck underneath your gums and when you push on it.. pain. OR...it's possiblility that you fractured the tooth. I'd go in and AT LEAST have an x ray I wouldn't mess around with your front tooth. get it checked out.
Reply:You need to see a dentist right away to get it checked out or it will definately get worse
Reply:If its a baby tooth it will eventually fall out,if its an adult tooth and your gums are healthy with no gum disease or anything it should just tigthen back up. You have to stop playing with it thought if you want it to no loosen any more! :)
