Loose Teeth
Are Loose Teeth an Emergency? Usually, loose permanent teeth are a warning sign that something is wrong. However, it’s normal for your teeth to not feel as sturdy as they begin to move into their properly aligned positions. So, unless they feel like they are on the brink of falling out, you don’t need to schedule an emergency appointment.
How You Should Handle Loose Teeth If your teeth feel slightly loose from time to time during your orthodontic treatment, it’s a good idea to stick to soft, nutrient-dense foods, like plain yogurt. It goes without saying that you should avoid crunchy snacks, like raw nuts, and that you should continue to implement a solid oral hygiene regimen as well. If you are ever concerned, you can always give us a call, too – we’d be happy to answer any questions you have.
