Loose Tooth
I was playing with my son a week ago and swinging him and he headbutted my lips hitting one of my front tooth. It was bleeding for a minute or two (the top of the tooth or gum, not sure which), it was a bit painful and aching for a few days, but now the pain is gone but the tooth still feels loose after almost 2 weeks since the incident. Should I be concerned or will it settle over time?
Normally when a tooth is loose there is nothing for you to worry about it will take care of its self. Of course there are some exceptions; if it is really bad the dentist would apply a splint. In your case I believe it will heal on its own. But please remember that I am only giving you my opinion and that this is your teeth, so you will have to make the call.
