A member asked:
2nd molars on top loose after wisdom teeth extraction? are they going to fall out? also i grind my teeth at night to prevent molar falling out????????
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loose teeth: Grinding your teeth will only loosen them, not tighten them. To determine proper treatment for loose teeth requires first determining cause. May be malocclusion, tooth infection, gum infection, sinus infection, parafunctional habits, etc. See your General Dentist to start. Specialty referral may be prudent.
