How old are you? If you are young (under 12 or 13 years old) and if you haven't hit the tooth lately, then it's probably a baby tooth. It is rare for a child to have a loose adult tooth. If you are an adult and have a loose tooth, it could be gum disease.

Your 9 year old has a wobbly eye tooth is there an adult one pushing through?
I am 10 and I have a very wobbly tooth. It is falling back to let my adult tooth fall out. You may be able to see it, although I don't really know what YOU mean. F.Y.I tell him/her not to wobble it and give him/her the best food for a wobbly tooth. Sometimes, when it was wobbly for a long long time, I think, that an adult tooth grows under it, and then I think that it tries to push the milk one out, to make way. I just want to help, since I have the same problem with my tooth beside the one beside the one beside the one in the middle. Sorry.
How do you compare a baby tooth from an adult?
A baby tooth is smaller than a adult tooth.
What if a child gets an abscessed tooth in a baby tooth Can it damage the adult tooth underneath?
No, The adult teeth forms separate from the child tooth. However if nutrition is not improved while the adult tooth is coming before the adult tooth comes in, there is a higher chance it will be weak and more prone to decay.
If you have a baby tooth and an adult tooth is growing in front of the baby tooth would you need to remove the baby tooth?
This is very common in children where the adult tooth comes out behind or in front of the baby tooth. Sometimes the baby tooth becomes loose as the adult tooth comes out more and extraction is not necessary. If the tooth is not becoming loose, then the tooth should be removed.

What if an adult takes out a permanent tooth?
Then you don't have a tooth, you can get a false tooth though
What is the reason you still have a baby tooth as an adult?
You probably have either a congenitally missing or impacted permanent adult tooth.
Is there hope for a 5-year-old who has one tooth left on the top and four on the bottom?
The 5-year-old does not have their adult teeth in yet. A dentist can tell with an x-ray if they have adult teeth that will come in. Good luck to the child and God Bless:)
