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?

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!
Reply:Don't eat anything hard or crunchy foods. Avoid chewing with the affected tooth.





You should be ok tho. Don't worry your mouth will heal itself.
Reply:i'm in the dental field. an injured tooth like urs may end up with dead root or root fracture (also known as root canal). it may not happen now, but in due time it will. i've seen patients that's been in accidents thats tooth goes dead immediately and some may take years,





if your tooth is mobile now, chances are, it will heal a bit, but it'll nvr be the same.





just make sure you follow up with your dentist in a few months and have her take your xray to make sure the nerve havent died.





hope this helps
