01In brief
Tooth moved or loose after a blow: what should I do?
Urgent: get it seen today
A tooth pushed inward or outward, driven into the gum, or loose after a blow needs to be seen within hours: the sooner it is repositioned, the better its chances of healing. Do not force the tooth, bite gently on a clean cloth and call the Go Dentiste clinic in Valleyfield at 514-533-3368 to be seen the same day, subject to availability. After a blow to the head, first make sure there are no signs of a medical emergency.

04At the Valleyfield clinic
How the tooth is repositioned and monitored
The dentist examines the tooth, the gum and how your teeth close together, then takes an X-ray to check the root and the bone. If the tooth has moved, the dentist repositions it under local anesthesia and stabilizes it with a flexible splint.
Check-ups are planned in the following weeks, because the nerve can react to the blow later; a root canal is sometimes needed. In children, the permanent tooth that is still forming is also monitored.

06FAQ
Frequently asked questions: tooth moved after a blow
My tooth is a little loose after a blow: is it serious?
Slight looseness can settle on its own, but only an exam with an X-ray can tell whether the root or the bone is affected. Have the tooth checked quickly and avoid biting with it.
The tooth changed colour a few weeks after the blow: why?
Darkening can mean the tooth’s nerve is suffering or dying. Book an appointment: the dentist checks whether the tooth is still alive and suggests treatment if needed.
My child has a baby tooth pushed into the gum: what should I do?
Don’t pull on the tooth. Call the clinic for an exam the same day, subject to availability: the dentist checks the baby tooth and the bud of the permanent tooth.
Do I need a tetanus shot?
If the wound was soiled with dirt or your vaccinations are not up to date, ask your pharmacist or Info-Santé 811 for advice.
