I damaged a tooth by falling off my bike, it is loose now, what can be done to fix it?

It is best to get an x-ray to make sure there are no fractures. Usually, the tooth can be stabilized by the dentist so that the tooth is not moving. You will have to avoid any pressure on the tooth for four to six weeks, so it will make the tooth harden. Sometimes there is some nerve damage that can show up three to six months after. It is best to get an x-ray and an examination by the dentist right away if this happens.
