A loose tooth almost always needs to be treated by a dentist. If this is a result of trauma, sometimes a tooth can be secured in place by the dentist until the injury heals. This is somewhat equivalent to putting a broken bone in a cast. A traumatized tooth, if it can be saved, frequently requires root canal therapy. If this is a result of periodontal disease, it needs to be diagnosed and treated by a dentist. Teeth that are very loose because of periodontal disease are almost never saved in the long term. That is because the supporting bone and connective tissue have been destroyed and cannot be restored. If the tooth is a primary or baby tooth, it is supposed to be lost to make room for the permanent teeth. If it is loose, it cannot be saved. Loose teeth can be a very serious matter. Not only can it affect your ability to chew and diminish your smile, but it can be a source of infection. An untreated dental infection can cause other more serious complications throughout the body. Fortunately, your dentist has many ways to save teeth, and even if a tooth is lost, he or she can offer several acceptable options to replace it. This may include dental implants, permanent bridges, or removable partial or full dentures.

Is it normal for an 18-year-old to have loose teeth with a tooth coming in underneath?

It's rare. It could be a wisdom tooth if it's in the back, in which case it would be coming in wrong and displacing the tooth on top. However, it's conceivable that you have one hold-out tooth that simply never fell out until now. Hello. Because you have a tooth coming in underneath then this will cause the lose teeth. So yes this is normal for the situation but you will need to see a dentist to have the new tooth removed and your lose teeth sorted out.


How can you tell if a tooth is an adult one?

How old are you? If you are young (under 12 or 13 years old) and if you haven't hit the tooth lately, then it's probably a baby tooth. It is rare for a child to have a loose adult tooth. If you are an adult and have a loose tooth, it could be gum disease.

How do you remove a unready tooth painlessly?

There is not a painless way to remove a tooth that is not ready to come out: When the new tooth under it grows in enough it will painlessly push out the top one. 1. Wiggle the tooth as much as you can to get it as loose as you can 2. If its loose enough start by pulling it down slowly 3. You are ready to pull it but do this slowly also 4. Your tooth should be out, it should bleed for a minute or so but it will stop ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
