Will the wobbling teeth in braces automatically stiffen itself?

Q. Hi Dr Caplan. I’ve just had my braces put in. Three days after having them put in when my teeth were stull tender, sore and not as stable, I fell and hit one of my front tooth on the ground, which resulted in some bleeding seeping out from that gum line. Now four months after, that tooth now clicks when I push it with my tongue, and feels ‘wobbly’ to a degree. It will become stiff again like before, or will I need a procedure to strengthen its stability? Thanks

A. You may have fractured the root of the tooth and unfortunately it may need to be removed.  Please see you dentist for an Xray and vitatlity tests to assess this

hi Dr. Caplan. i had my braces removed and my dentist placed crowns on my 2 front tooth. he injected anesthesia before he “trimmed” my teeth. after 2 days, i felt that my gums were swollen and now it looks like it has abscess and it is quite painful. i am worried, did my dentist missed anything? do my 2 front teeth need to be removed? if so, what are the options in replacing my 2 front teeth? thank you so much
