The gum in the area of the loose tooth is probably irritated which is causing it to be puffy and maybe have some bleeding. It may also look white due to the pressure of the tooth below it pushing up, causing blanching. Blanching reduces some blood flow to the area and therefore it looks less pink than normal. Just keep wiggling it!
Hope that helps!

If the gum became sore until now the enamel grew to alter into unfastened, it must be gingivitis or gum ailment interior the begining ranges. that's extra possibly that wiggling the enamel only annoyed the gum. i've got heard that ora-gel or comparable topical enamel discomfort drugs artwork properly. i could quit wiggling it (yeah, which would be complicated) and see a dentist.

If its a baby tooth (though all your baby teeth should be out buy now) try and pull it out but if its not maybe you should go to the dentist and get him/her to check it out. If its really loose they might pull it out and give you a fake (but permanent and real-looking) tooth. Its nothing big.
