    Wiggly tooth, can a crown fix this?
    I have a pretty large cavity in the tooth to the left if my upper front tooth. The tooth feels wiggly, will a crown fix this? I have an appointment with the dentist next week. What can be done about this? Will the tooth be able to be saved? Is this a dental emergency our should I wait until next week? Petrified to go to the dentist but really don't want to loose the tooth.

    If the tooth moves, there is bone loss and may need to come out. Dentist will not put a crown on tooth that is compromised by bone loss.
