A member asked:
What happens if you hit you face on the ground and your tooth is loose a little and your gum starts bruising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dentist: Go see a dentist to get your tooth radiographed (x-rayed). It's normal for a tooth to be loose after facial trauma. Dentist needs to determine if there is a root fracture under the gums.
