How do you keep a loose tooth from falling out?!
Question: I'm fourteen and still have one last baby tooth. I'm afraid that if it comes out, I'll have a huge gap for a very long time. It's my right side canine. It's going from moving a little bit to moving more and more everyday.
Is there any way a dentist could move the permanent tooth down faster? Or a way I can hold onto this tooth longer so the permanent will be ready?

Whatever you do...don't wiggle it! The more you play with it, the looser it will get! Either way you will have a gap in your mouth...don't sweat it! (If kids at school say anything...be like "yeah some kid was talkin sh** about me so we fought...all I got was a knocked out tooth! -Ya shoulda seen him though!)
No....
The best thing is to just get it out and let your tooth start to come through...the longer you try to keep that baby tooth in there the bigger risk there is that it'll cause your adult tooth to come in crooked. And sorry hun, there is no way to speed it up.
I don't know why you'd want to stop it...and 14 seems kinda old for that...are you sure it's a baby tooth?
no its gonna look like crap for awhile get over it we all went threw it
There shouldn't be a "Large Gap" for over 2 days.
If its loose, the adult tooth is coming in, let it come out
no u just cant
dont move it.although I WOULD get it off.but if you dont want it gone than leave it alone
It's loose because it has to make way for the adult tooth. There's a reason for this...if you try to keep the tooth in for too long, the adult tooth will come in crooked. A gap is only temporary...the crooked tooth will be permanent. Let it come out.
The baby tooth will fall out eventually by the adult tooth behind it. Its pushing it out. But I think that takes a while. Just dont touch the baby tooth and you're good.
the permanent tooth can't come in until the baby tooth falls out. Just let it fall out. Talk to your dentist about it if you are concerned.
Use super glue.
ice might help some. but get ready, its coming out.
Let nature happen. When that sucker wants to come out, it will. Letting it in there too long could hinder the new tooth from coming in, or cause an infection. Everyone goes through this, it's no biggie.
you shouldn't prolong a tooth from falling out, you are 14...generally people lose all their baby teeth around 12. It's your bodies way of getting rid of it, if you hold onto it you could actually cause the permanent tooth to be crooked...now go eat an apple :-)
get a heavy contruction hammer and let your dad take a few swats at your head. that did the trick for me
it is actually bad if the permanent tooth grows in before the baby one falls out.
the canine teeth can become crooked and snaggle like so you really should let the tooth fall out when it wants to.
All baby teeth come out eventually, it's is just a matter of time before a tooth takes it spot. The gap won't be there for that long of a time. Even if there was a way to keep down a tooth from falling, I don't recommend it. Might as well just lose your last baby tooth and have a adult one grow in.
I lost a few of my teeth when i was like 13, mainly my canines. Theres nothing dentists can do. Just lose the teeth and the permanent ones will grow within a year, its not that bad.
No the dentist cannot do that. But I guess it will work to try to keep it there longer. Don't chew hard stuff, don't wiggle it, and be careful with it. (I'm afraid you cannot avoid having the gap completely.)
don't mess with at at all...don't even think about it
but i think it would be better to just get it over with and deal with the gap it problly won't even look bad
*good luck! :)*
i wish but...................... NO
Hold it in until you're ready. Nah just joking.
Deciduous teeth, otherwise known as milk teeth, baby teeth, temporary teeth or primary teeth, are the first set of teeth in the growth development of humans and many other mammals. They develop during the embryonic stage of development and erupt
