Loose teeth tooth abscess
I had severe tooth ache a month ago, and my right two teeth got loose, so I went to a near by dentist, she suggested me some antibiotics and told me to come after few days and if tooth settles she'll do a root canal. I didn't wanted a root canal I wanted my tooth to remain, so I searched online and found that it was tooth abscess by comparing my symptoms, and went on for some home remedies to cure it, I rinse with salt water, and also tried wheat grass powder as I learnt it removes the toxins. My right front two teeth were loose now since yesterday my rights ones are also getting loose.
I wanna know if the infection is spreading and is it too late for me to save my teeth.?

Please visit the nearest dentist urgently... they will advise an OPG Xray which will reveal the status of all your teeth and their supporting bone... which is essential at this point even before starting treatment. It is urgent... if you wish to retain the remaining teeth of yours.
Next Steps
Fix up an appointment with the nearest Dentist and proceed for evaluation and management without delay.
Health Tips
Follow instructions given by the dentist meticulously.
