not sure where this is suppose to go but...

i got hit playing bball last friday, and my tooth just feels weird. it feels different when i push on it; it isn't noticably loose, but it has that feel when i put pressure on it. any suggestions?

a'mean, does it fix itself after a few days, a week?

thanks guys.

Call your dentist, and make an appointment. The time and expense of a proactive dentist's appointment is no comparison to the time and expense you will face over the years if you lose that tooth.

yeah, i'd do it if i were at home. i'm off at school; i don't even know if there's a dentist place nearby...

but yeah, losing it would suck.

Find a dentist, asap. They can put a brace to hold it in place until it heals. They can brace it using the teeth beside the loose one. Otherwise, the financial consequences can be devastating. I lost a molar a couple of years ago, and it cost me $1200.00 to have a dental appliance put in it's place. BTW, it took two months and was not covered by insurance.

Good Luck.
