Will a loosened tooth restore itself
I got hit in the mouth. an my bottom front tooth was pushed hard against my top front teeth. an it pushed my bottom front tooth out of its socket a bit, an forward a bit. My teeth are very close together. an I had to use a pair of pillars too push the tooth back into its socket. an then I bit down on a towel to push my tooth back down inside its socket. Is there any hope that I wont loose my tooth. Can it repair it's self if left alone. My gums are bruised an they were bleeding pretty good. when it happened. the tooth next to my loosened one got chipped pretty good. where they are so close together. The tooth in question is still a lil loose, and a lil numb, an when I push down on it with my top teeth there is a lil pain there. so do u think it can be saved, without dental care. or could it be saved with dental care. either way is ok. but tell me if u can. If u think it could be saved without dental care. thanks
Answer: Go and see the dentist

You must go and see the dentist as soon as possible, even though you might think you saved the tooth. From the trauma of that tooth, you may loose the nerve on the tooth which will need a root canal and crown.
The dentist will take a x-ray and let you know what needs to save the tooth. Do not wait too long as if you do the tooth may be lost.
Good Luck
