Question about teeth?
I'm just 16... and i've never expierenced this before, so i really need help right now. my teeth have always been great...but i was in a collision a few days ago during sports, and one of my teeth hurt a little bit and is shaking a bit... after i went to the dentist, and she took pictures. she said its shaking, but no bleeding or hurt a lot, and from the pictures, its hard to determine if its broken... so she stablized it for me. so now, i'll have the steel thing for 3 months +. anybody has any other suggestions for protecting this injured tooth?
Answers:
Your dentist did the right thing to stabilize the tooth and allow it to try to heal itself. If I was you I would see about getting a sports mouth-guard made to wear when you are playing sports. It's the smart thing to do and would have prevented your having this problem in the first place. Good luck!
