Answer 10

it's possible that it's still your baby teeth because my friend was actually 17 and they told her that she still had her baby teeth that needed to come out. but go to the dentist just to make sure your teeth isnt lose because it's rotting.

Answer 11

well im pretty sure it isnt a baby tooth

so no

Answer 12

absolutely -you can lose your baby teeth throughout adolescence.  follow up with your dentist.

Answer 13

Not particulary.

Answer 14

Well if it isn't permanent, than yes.

My dentist's son lost his last baby tooth at almost 17.

Good luck!

Answer 15

It is not common. It is possible that you have lost a baby tooth which was not pushed out with a permanent one before (because you never had a permanent there). It is OK, it happens, your dentist should have told you this long time ago, it is easy to tell based on X-ray.

The other reason is not so good. You might have periodontitis. When gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis. At this point, the inner layer of the gum and bone pull away from the teeth (recede) and form pockets. These small spaces between teeth and gums may collect debris and can become infected. The body's immune system fights the bacteria as the plaque spreads and grows below the gumline. Bacterial toxins and the body's enzymes fighting the infection actually start to break down the bone and connective tissue that hold teeth in place. As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed.

At this point, because there is no longer an anchor for the teeth, they become progressively looser, and the ultimate outcome is tooth loss.

some serious gum disease and need to see a dentist.  

Answer 16

yea  

Answer 17

it could be, if you didn't lose all your teeth when you were younger, that could be it, if you are worried, go to the dentist and have them x-ray your mouth and check it out, if you do indeed have a loose tooth, the tooth on the x-ray will have another tooth under it, i personally lost all of mine by december of 4th grade ( about 9 years old) my sister still has a few loose teeth and she is going into th grade (11 years old) i never knew of anybody who was 16 that still had baby teeth, but it is probably fine, but, again, if you are worried, go to the dentist and have them give you an x-ray

Answer 18

rare but true. See a dentist yes. Your teeth are not maturing fast enough. if it is a baby tooth it's ok. otherwise it's not.

Answer 19

well no it is not but if you have braces it is because it just means that some of your teeth are moving and that is good but do not wiggle them.

Answer 20

It could be that you have a heavy bite or a deep bite....which would cause you to hit certain teeth with more force and weight that the rest. That would cause your teeth to become loose or to wear down, in your case to become loose. Comment this to your dentist and he will try to do the best s/he can to fix it........hopefully if that is the problem and it gets fixed soon so you will be able to keep those teeth.  

Answer 21

Depends on where it is.
