No. The periodontal ligament hold the tooth inside the alveolar bone socket. The skew teeth is due to nature of dental space availabe during eruption and can be corrected by orthodontic treatment. But if you have periodontitis (periodontal ligament disease) with periodontal pocket more than 5mm maybe the teeth can be mobile and fall. I recommend you to go to visit your dentist.
