Fractured, Loosened, or Knocked Out Teeth
Loosened teeth
If an injury loosens a tooth in the socket or if the surrounding gum tissue bleeds a great deal, a person should see a dentist immediately, because the root or socket may be fractured. A loosened tooth that is repositioned and stabilized quickly usually stays in place permanently. Seriously loosened baby (deciduous) teeth in the front of the mouth are often removed to prevent harm to existing permanent teeth.
