this is a question for my friend,,,, she has a fear of dentists so hasnt been for a while, her front tooth has dropped slightly and she now has a gap between her teeth she stated the tooth is very slightly wobbly, she doesnt want to have her tooth taken out and wants to know if the dentist can just push it back up and set it with tooth cement or something? she said it has been like this for about 5 weeks or so… maybe a tiny longer, it hasnt gotten any worse since it happened. please any advice for her would be very appreciated cheers x


Answer:
It all depends on whether its a permanent tooth.
If it is, then she needs to get it looked at to find out what exactly is wrong with it.
I could be fixed with the glue stuff, or she could get braces for that tooth only (yes, that's possible, so you wont have a mouth full of braces for only a spot problem)
If it starts hurting then, if she hasn't had it checked yet, she NEEDS to get it looked at in order to prevent losing it permanently.
