Necessity of extracting my loose tooth

[Ivory12]

Hi,

My loose tooth has been loose for c. 15-20 years (I'm 84 yo.), and with my denture in place gives me some pain when chewing on an apple or a piece of pork chop. Several dentists have commented on my apparent bone loss.

I've been to a D.M.D. that helped fix a chipped tooth, but I don't know any good-to-very-good oral surgeons.

Does it seem as if the extraction of my loose tooth is a necessity at this time? (The scan is one from October of 2023.)

I would recommend extracting the loose tooth. Any dentist can do this type of instructions.

Okay, thank you!
