Determine cause: Once the cause of the looseness is determined, then a treatment can be prescribed. See a local dentist for advice.

Loose tooth: This could be the result of advanced gum disease, a fractured tooth, or other possible infections. There is no way to know without a clinical exam, x-rays, and additional information. Make an appointment to see a dentist.

Call your dentist: There is nothing pleasant about having a loose tooth. You should make an appointment with your dentist immediately, so that he/she can determine the underlying cause and apply the proper treatment.
