My mother is 61 yes old, she has pain in lower frontal 2 teeth from 2-3 months....these teeth are loosened too. Dr told to remove teeth which she doesn't want to. My mother doesn't have any other health issues. Please tell me if there is any other alternative treatment.

Hi
Some teeth r difficult to save if they r very mobile. If u cud share the x ray images it vl be easier to give an opinion. If there is minimal amount of bone loss it can probably be saved.
Next Steps
please share radiograph images

Hello dear
Please be calm
See extraction is always the last resort.
I think RCT along with splinting can do your job
But for confirmation please share clinical pic
Next Steps
mobility with RCT required as alternative for extraction
