A member asked:

Will a dentist be able to fix a loose tooth?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depends...: It depends on the reason the tooth is loose. If its too heavy in your bite, this may be corrected. If it is due to advanced gum (periodontal) disease, it may be too late. See a dentist immediately before the problem becomes worse.
