What can be done about a loose adult tooth?

My daughter has a loose adult tooth. Does this warrant a visit to the dentist? Is there anything the dentist can do for her?

You definitely need to see a dentist to have an x-ray taken to check the health of the tooth. You may have to have something such as a root canal or crown put in done to help the tooth since a normal adult tooth should not be loose (by itself, all being loose is another demon).

I would definitely see a dentist. It may have to be pulled, depending on how bad it is, or you may have a retainer made if it is mild, so the roots will have a chance to heal and keep the tooth in place.

Is there a difference is the benefits/side effects between ACE inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) to make the added cost of the ARBs (e.g., Diovan) a better choice?
