Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My upper front tooth with root canal has moved inside because of an injury and it is bleeding.

Answered by Dr. Naveen Thomas

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If it is just pushed inside or back due to falling and is not mobile, either go to a dentist soon and ask him if he can position it urgently. A clear picture would have helped in giving an exact treatment plan. Nothing else can be done for now. Allow the wound to heal, apply ice for one hour at least. Take some painkillers for three days. Try to eat liquid or semi-solid food so as the tooth gets time to heal. Later after two weeks or so you can get a new crown made over the teeth.

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