    You need to see a dentist immediately, it sounds like your teeth are impacted, and you will lose your loose tooth anyway if you don't get help. I'm not sure where you live, but most teaching hospitals with dental programs offer low-cost dental services. You will probably lose more teeth if you wait. Call around or research it and see if there is a low-cost dental program in your area. You may find a dental clinic. I'm not sure if they can save your tooth at this stage, but you may be able to get an implant or a removeable partial to wear, basically like a denture with only one tooth which you wear, it fits behind your teeth and can't be seen, no one will know you have it - an implant can be molded from your actual tooth and is a little more expensive.

    I also have impacted teeth and loss of circulation to my wisdom teeth caused them to rot from the inside, I didn't even know they were dead until one broke. Unfortunately, I hadn't worn my retainer, (to realign my teeth while I was still young). I never got my braces and neglected going to the orthodontist because it was so uncomfortable. BIG mistake. Sometimes a tooth can be saved, but usually requires a root canal.

    Good luck, I hope everything works out, sincerly.

    I'm not a dentist, but I do advise not to pull the tooth! You should probably go to the dentist, and see if they think going to an orthodontist would help. Your teeth are getting pressed together because of lack of roomin your mouth. An orthodontist (if you got your wisdoms removed) could use expanders to put space between your teeth again, and then braces to straiten them back together. I've had my wisdoms since 5th grade and have never had a problem, but did go through expanders and braces. Again, I'm not a dentist, or doctor, or anything really. But I hope that helps. I doubt a dentist would just pull out a front tooth without a false tooth to put in, or a different way to fix the problem (like removal follwed by expanders)

    You probably should get the wisdom teeth out first. The loose tooth can be saved, though. It might seat itself or need to be attached to the teeth near it until it becomes firm again.

    if you do lose a tooth its not a big deal you would just get a take tooth put in i have a few friends who fell n chipped a tooth or just had them put in cuz they didn't like how their teeth looked its called a Vinere (spelt wrong probably) but don't worry they can pull it and fix it the same day you wouldn't even know.

    Sorry :( The tooth fairy will not come pick it up because it's too big and heavy. The tooth fairy can only take small teeth because she is very small and doesn't go to the gym.

    Go to the Dentist you will keep your teeth. Baby it as much as possible until you do. The more root dammage the longer to heal
