Hi,
From your question, I think you are asking opinion for your 8-year-old child. Assuming it is the child's front tooth and milk tooth its mobile probably because of erupting permanent tooth.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and clear all your doubts in person or you can book a video consultation with another pedodontist for a second opinion

Hello
If the mobility of your teeth has started only after the accident, splint can be tried to save the tooth. If it is a milk tooth, better get it removed and go for a space maintainer.

If tooth is extremely mobile,get it removed .if it is milk tooth,space maintainers can be given. If it's permanent teeth, get it replaced with implants or fixed partial dentures. You can consult through this for further details.
