Will The Wobbly Front Tooth Sets By Itself Or Fall Out?

Hiya, ok I have a very serious question I’m really worried about. About 4 or so months back I went on a night out and to cut a long story short I got myself very drunk almost to the point where I couldn’t walk, anyway as I was getting out my friends car and walking my whole entire body weight fell on my front left tooth. How its still there is beyond me, it was such a heavy blow & the pain lasted for a good 2 weeks. Presently it wobbles slightly and its got me worried that at some point it may fall out or discolour as I’ve herd, I’m really scared because my teeth specially the front one are my everything. Do you think the tooth will be ok? Even if it stays slightly wobbly for the rest of my life I’m willing to leave it that way just so it wont be replaced, I hope you can understand im also a 19 year old girl too so I feel like my face would be destroyed if anything was to happen to it L



thank you for any reply

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you got hurt on your front tooth and ot was paining for two weeks after that, it can be possible that due to blow the ligaments at the apex of the tooth got damaged that is why the too is wobbling also.
You should visit a good dentist and get an x - ray of the tooth, as it will show the apex of the tooth, and if needed you have to go for root canal treatment of the tooth.
But please do not leave the tooth like that as, it can create problem in future.
Hope it will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The mobile or shaking teeth is bacause of the subluxation of the teeth secondary to trauma. Consult a oral physician and take radiographs to rule out root fracture in a tooth. If root is fractured we cannot save the teeth. It has to be removed.
If there are no root fractures then the teeth can be splinted using wires.
After a month check the vitality of the teeth. If the teeth are non vital then get them root canal treated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
