Hi Karan Let me ask history of you. Is any trauma happened to your teeth before? As a dentist i would suggest you to take a xray of that tooth and kindly update it and so that the prognosis of the tooth (wheather to save it or not can be understood )can be determined. Don’t try to shake the tooth kindly visit nearby dentist with xray so that he can advise splint for immobilization if adequate bone strength around tooth present
If your front lower teeth are shaking and you notice some swelling, it’s important to address it promptly as this can indicate underlying issues. One of the more common causes of teeth becoming mobile is some form of gum disease. If plaque or tartar build-up is causing gum inflammation, it can lead to periodontal problems and looseness in the teeth. The recurrence after two years might suggest a chronic condition, so visiting a dentist is necessary to properly diagnose the root cause. In the meantime, here’s what you can do to potentially alleviate the pain and manage the symptoms: Gently but thoroughly clean the area around the teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove any plaque build-up. Use a saltwater rinse to help reduce the swelling—a simple solution is one teaspoon of salt dissolved in a warm glass of water, used as a rinse a couple of times a day. To help minimize any pain, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen might be useful, but always take as directed. Avoid putting excess stress on the tooth by not using it to bite down hard foods—for instance, stick to softer foods until you see improvement. Underlying systemic issues like diabetes can also contribute to dental problems, so if you have any comorbid conditions, it’s worth having a conversation with your primary care provider to ensure those are managed properly. If the tooth continues to feel loose or the pain increases, don’t delay dentist visit—prompt professional treatment can prevent further deterioration and potentially save the tooth. If infection is suspected, for example if you notice pus or significant swelling that spreads, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately as this can escalate quickly if untreated.
