Dental injury: In general terms as part of assessment the dentist may need to check to see if the tooth is loose/avulsed hence the need to shake it. Here is some general information but for specific advice you need to contact either the dentist who you saw or another dentist licensed in the US. https://patient.info/health/dental-injuries
