Loose teeth can be kind of exciting when you’re a child. After all, it means you’re growing up, and you may even have a surprise from the tooth fairy to look forward to.  But loose teeth don’t have quite the same appeal as an adult. That’s because your permanent teeth are supposed to be just that: permanent. In fact, a loose adult tooth can be a sign of big trouble in your mouth. But while a loose adult tooth doesn’t necessarily mean you’re about to lose it, if you do notice this symptom, it’s imperative that you act quickly. Here’s what you should do next.

You’re sitting in the dental chair, minding your own business, when your dentist interrupts the mental argument you were just about to win. They say you have a cavity.

Gone is whatever point you were trying to make to yourself. Now your mind is rapidly scrolling through bits and pieces of information. You’ll need a crown, you think. Or is it a filling? Gah! What’s the difference?

Not to worry, fair reader! Just keep on going. You’ll find everything you need to know about crowns and fillings and how to choose the right option for you.
