If you are losing your baby teeth the dentist might just tell you to keep wiggling the loose tooth for it to come out completely. Your gum is sore because it is the only thing holding that tooth in. If it is a permanent tooth that is loose, it may need to be extracted or gum disease. In that case, yes a needle may be given.
loosening of the teeth is usually caused by maintaining a bad oral hygiene which in turn causes gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Gum disease is the main cause of loose teeth.
Gum disease is the inflammation and infection of the gums and the surrounding tissue. Generally caused by bacterial plaque, it is the biggest cause of adult tooth loss. At Paragon Dental, the Best periodontist in Modesto offers quality Gum disease treatment which includes periodontal surgery and bone crafting.
Depending on what exact part the inflammation is in: 1-Periodontitis is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the peridontium, that is, the tissues that surround and support the teeth. 2-Gingivitis: inflammation of the gum tissue. 3-Pericoronitis: inflammation of the soft and hard tissues surrounding one particular tooth (e.g. wisdom tooth)
inflammation after an extraction can be due to the trauma caused to the tissues surrounding the tooth, when the tooth was being pulled.however, infection also causes an inflammatory response in an attempt to increase the concerntration of white blood cells to an infected area, thus fighting the infection to reduce tissue damage. inflammation of the tooth socket after extraction will result in some degree of discomfort (mild pain) up to severe pain depending on the cause of the inflammation described above. inflammation resulting from socket infection can be accomponied by visable puss formation in the socket and redness, pain and swelling of the gum around the socket. how do you know it's puss? you won't, go to a dentist who will tell you for sure and treat it accordingly.

If it is THAT loose, simply use a safety pin or something and try to get it up the gum to get it looser and, hopefully get it out. But careful, it might give you a gum infection. But it worked for me!
yes you can. the root can still be in your gum but it will disentigrate with time
I imagine the sugar could cause some tooth decay
Oral surgeons treat all gum problems. Some of these problems include severe gingivitis (gum disease), gum inflammation, and receding gums. Oral surgeons can treat gum proplems like pareodontal disease. Oral surgeons may also bee need to remove a seriousy infected tooth.
You can try wiggling the "baby tooth" (if it doesn't hurt to do so) until it is loose enough to come out - most baby teeth have very short roots. If this doesn't work you need to see a dentist, the remaining baby tooth will cause displacement and over crowding of your new permanent teeth.
