Loose tooth: See dentist immediately for emergency visit. tooth probably needs to be temporarily stabilized. Dentist will check for root or bone fractures. In the meantime, don't wiggle tooth, apply cold packs, don't bite into anything with that tooth, avoid very hot/cold foods, take Advil as directed to help prevent swelling.

Loose tooth: See dentist ASAP to see if any immediate treatment needed. Depending on severity of impact there are many ways this could go. Use soft foods. Do not use flipper for another tooth as this flipper aids to trauma being anchored to injured tooth. Warm salt water rinses to speed up healing. See dentist ASAP.
