What to do if you lose tooth and roots are starting slide into another tooth?

See your dentist: Who can evaluate your situation and tell you how best to handle it. Not sure if you “lost” the tooth and still have some remaining roots or you have a “loose” tooth that has shifted in place. In either case, the tooth with all roots need to be removed, and any bone loss, gum disease and infection treated and resolved.

Dental exam: When a tooth is missing the other teeth loose their support and they can move. This is what may be going onion your mouth. You feel the roots of other teeth sliding and moving. This can change the way your teeth function, change your bit and cause other problems. You should see a dentist and find out your options to stabilize your teeth.

Rephrase: Do you mean lose or loose? If you lose a tooth it can be from decay, your bite or periodontal disease and the whole tooth would come out including the roots. If your tooth is loose, it is from periodontal disease, your bite or trauma. There is a difference in treatment planing as well. For the best results, see a dentist for a full exam with x-rays.
