Q. Hello, I’ve had a knock to my face which has left about 3 of my teeth loose and very painfull also slightly chipped at the tip. I have been checked over by a dentist who suggested that the ligaments may be stretched and hopefull that they should tighten back to normal. I also had an x-ray which has shown a very faint crack although the dentist was not certain. I had a test done that indicated the teeth are still alive. The dentist advised of a review in a weeks time and another x-ray to see if the potential crack has darkened. The dentist has also advised on a soft diet. Is there anything else I can do to help my recovery and speed up the tightening of my teeth? I have been drinking lots of milk and also applying ice to my lip in the area were my teeth are painfull, not sure if i’m helping though. I will look forward to your response.,
