Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 17-year-old female with a wobbly adult tooth. I weigh 58 kg, and my height is 5 feet 7 inches.

What should I do about the adult wobbly moving tooth?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It seems that you have a mobile tooth. The treatment plan for the mobile tooth will depend on the degree of mobility. If it is highly mobile, then it needs to be removed. However, if it is slightly mobile, there are other treatment modalities where a tooth can be saved. There needs to be more information than you have provided to come to a particular diagnosis. I suggest you take a radiograph of the tooth and send that image to me so I can assess the condition and come to a particular diagnosis and treatment plan. I further suggest you visit the dentist.

The Probable causes

Bone loss.

Investigations to be done

IOPA (intra-oral periapical radiograph) of the involved tooth.

Differential diagnosis

Periodontitis.

Probable diagnosis

Mobility.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
