I had a bone graft done a week ago. My tooth beside where my implant will be is loose. Is this normal?

Question

Since I have been eating soft food, I have not noticed it. But now that I’m able to eat more food with comfort I noticed it. I even wiggles it to make sure I wasn’t imagining it. Is it normal for my tooth to be loose? With it be ok?

Amber Garcia, DDS · Answer

The tooth could be loose due to the trauma of the treatment done to the adjacent tooth. If you had a tooth extracted, sometimes the teeth on either side will be loose for a couple of weeks. Do not wiggle it. If you are truly concerned, see your dentist for evaluation.
