Kitten's wobbly tooth after injury: Vet says teeth grow back. Advice?

Question

Hello please help. My kitten came to me with blood in its mouth 2 teeths broke. I helped stop the bleeding. But one tooth is still wiggling. I went to see what happened and say the bookshelf fell and he must have been under it. He walks ok and doesn't limp I have taken him to a vet he says it's normal the teeth will grow back. He is the only vet around for now can you guys give me advice on what to do with the wiggly tooth. And how to heal him is possible. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 8 days old | 10 lbs

As long as the vet checked him and reassured you that he is overall fine, that is the most important thing, although i am not sure why he would tell you that the tooth will grow back, unless he is younger that what you wrote in his profile (1 year and 4 months), permanent teeth grow approximately at the age of 3-6 months, after that whatever falls does not grow back. regarding the wiggling tooth, this is the same issue basically, if he is under 6 months and it is a baby tooth then it will probably fall soon, if it doesn't bother him you can wait until it falls, if he is painful- ask your vet to have it removed under sedation.
