Is my tooth supposed to be loose?? dentists please!!!!?!


Question:

Is my tooth supposed to be loose?? dentists please!!!!?

ok i have been losing a lot of baby teeth lately. but i have this one tooth in my mouth on the top right side and it's second from the back. i have no idea if its supposed to be loose or not. should i pull it out??? is it supposed to be loose???


Answers:

Baby teeth are meant to be left in until they're ready to fall out. If it's not loose, then don't try pulling it now. Premature loss of baby teeth can cause teeth behind to fill in the space, thus leaving the permanant tooth no space to grow in. I know you're anxious, I just turned 13 and lost my last baby tooth a few months ago. I'm not sure if you have your second molars (12 year molars) or not, so second to the back could mean two things. Most likely, you've had sealants put on your first molars (the ones that grow in when you're about 7 which needed no tooth loss), you don't lose these. You do lose the last premolar before them though.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)
