What should be done for the broken tooth under gum?

Q. My 8 year old son has broken his tooth under the gum as a result of a collision playing football. He has visited the dentist who suggested that we just leave it but the tooth is becoming a bit wobbly. What is your advice on this one?

A. If it is a baby tooth its best to let it fall out, if its a permanent tooth it needs looking at ASAP
