I got into a bad car accident today totaled my car && my tooth is loose, and its not a baby tooth.. It's really sensitive what does this mean am I going to loose the tooth? ... please someone tell me... & If I need a fake tooth How does that work?
If the tooth was hit you should go see a dentist and have an x-ray taken and possibly get some Antibiotics just to prevent any possible Infection. When you get a hard hit it can make the tooth loose and sensitive. It can kill the nerve if it was hit hard enough. This can mean a need for a root canal and crown or if the tooth does not tighten back up, an extraction and replacement. Do not wiggle the tooth or bite anything. If this car accident was not your fault, you need to immediately go see a dentist and get documentation as so, so you can get money from insurance if needed. An implant can be used to replace the tooth. Extract the tooth if necessary, have a screw placed in the bone, and crown placed on top. No problems of taking something in and out or losing anything. It may be a few hundred dollars more than a bridge, but it is worth it.A lot of times, antibiotics will be prescribed to help prevent the tooth nerve from overreacting, dying, and getting infected.
