A member asked:
I recently got my teeth extracted almost 2 weeks ago,i also have supernumerary but my 1st molars are loose on one side what can i do to help my loose ?

Loose teeth: Are the loose teeth adjacent to the recent extractions? A dentist needs to clinically see you along with x-rays of the area to determine if the loose teeth are related to the extractions and will tighten on their own or due to something else such as periodontal (gum) disease. Discuss with the dentist who has been treating you.

Loose teeth: Usually indicates bone loss from gum disease and/or malocclusion. Note that when teeth are removed it's like removing staves from a barrel, integrity collapses. Important that you see your Dentist ASAP to discuss health of your gums, integrity of the remaining dentition, removal of supernumerary, replacing missing teeth, and stabilizing your remaining dentition.
