Can wisdom teeth become loose?

I think my upper left-hand wisdom tooth (which has a serious cavity in it) is becoming loose. Can a wisdom tooth fall out on its own? I'm trying to save up to have my wisdom teeth removed because of the pain they've been causing, but this worries me a little. Is it possible for it to fall out on its own?

Can wisdom teeth become loose?
I don't think I have ever seen a case where a wisdom tooth has fallen out on its own, not even with a case of severe periodontal disease. You should have the tooth removed for 2 reasons- first, if it breaks it might be harder to remove and second, if you get an infection than the anesthesia doesn't work as well when you do go to get it removed. Good luck

Reply:if wisdom teeth are loose best get them extracted as soon as you can


they can fall out naturally but often are still connected to root


even if not risk of swallowing while asleep is to be taken into account


try and get to your dentist as soon as you can

if they get loose then they obviosly are rotten or the nerve is dead.











if it is loose you should gp see a dentist and get themn pulled out.
