If your adult tooth becomes wobbly, how long is it before it falls out?


Question:
just wondering.for a friend you know

Answers:
Because adult teeth have such long roots, they can become slightly loose without falling out. If they are left alone the gums around the roots will often tighten around the tooth again, and it will no long be loose. If it is really loose, you should go to a dentist to see if the tooth can be saved.
it depends how wobbly it is.. most likey a few days to a week
how long is a piece of string, depends wether it is actually the whole tooth or a piece of it, i would personally seek dental treatment, i dont think the piece of string and door, will really work, if the tooth is loose through periodontal diease then that a whole different ball game, get ure mate to see the dentist ASAP
