Hi, my daughter just ran into the gate riding her bike and hit her teeth. They were not chipped, but the two top middle teeth (incisives, I guess) are a little wobbly. she's 5 - there are still not the permanent teeth, but I still am worried about her losing them. Can you confirm that somewhat wobbly teeth can firm back up again?
worried,

when i was a kid same wobbly teeth accident happened and my ma stayed up all night and applied pressure on them and they snugged back up .
and maybe itd help if she had like a peice of cloth to bite against in mouth to keep pressure on the teeth . and when i quit salt my gums seemed to start gripping my teeth tighter .

If she's 5, she'll be losing them soon anyway! I wouldn't worry about it. Even if they don't firm back up, she can live without them for a while. I have two cousins who lost front baby teeth (due to accidents and rough play) when they were just toddlers. Their adult teeth grew in just fine.

They are baby teeth. They would be coming out anyway. I wouldn't worry about it. My daughter began losing her teeth at age 4.

Thanks for your replay.

My daughter is now 5. She won't be losing them for another year or so. And my concern was for her not to lose them too far in advance of the other kids for self esteem reasons. They are only moving a little-so, there was no reason to pull them out. Dentists said they will be fine but only to feed her soft foods for a while. But it did not seem like a thorough investigation - which is why i asked if anyone had seen teeth move slightly and then get back to being steady.
