Dentist Immediately: Whether these are adult teeth or primary teeth really do not matter. If the teeth became loose as a result of trauma, which this is, then they must be evaluated and probably followed for the next 30-90 days for nerve death and the associated complication(s) that could arise. Do not delay, simple splinting could save the day, if done immediately.

Leave them alone: you can apply ice ,ask her to eat soft, and liquid food. avoid dislodging the teeth. see a dentist to see if they can be saved.

They may: "tighten" by themselves HOWEVER see a Dentist with a knowledge of Pediatric Dentistry. Sometimes "bracing" with proper orthodontic equipment is important especially for those teeth! Good Luck and I hope this suggestion helps!

Dental trauma: in the near term, have your doctor on a soft diet and give Her over the counter pain meds. Chances are she is fine but I would get to a dentist for evaluation and proper follow up if needed

Pediatric Dentist: Have your daughter's teeth evaluated. You did not say how old she is, but if she's younger than 10 yrs old the roots are still forming and it is important that they are monitored. All the best...
