I'm going on holiday in a week and I'm so worried.

Hi Toni from Indiana!  You need to see a dentist before you go on vacation to see why your tooth is loose. . I can not tell much from the pictures you sent . Try to eat soft foods only and do not chew with it which is going to be very difficult to do!  Most dentists will offer  a free consultation. You will not have a good holiday if you are worried about your tooth!

Hi There, Loose teeth are not good news.  You must see a dentist to discover why it is loose and what you can do for treatment.  A few pictures don't tell me enough.  What you can do in the meantime is 1.  Do not use it for biting into anything or for chewing. 2.  Stick to very soft foods like soups, cottage cheese or other foods that do not require using your front teeth. 3.  Do not use your teeth to scrape food off a spoon or fork.  4.  Get to a good cosmetic dentist as soon as you can.   Do not use your friendly neighborhood family dentist for a front tooth esthetic  issue.  I recommend you look up a cosmetic dentist near you through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry website - aacd.comI wish you the best of luck.
