∙ 13y agoYour baby teeth are very soft and have little enamel. They are made to crumble or dissolve over time to make way for the real teeth. Real adult teeth are made to last 20 or 30 years, and of course with good dental care we hope they will last your lifetime.
The baby teeth are mostly very small, from about 3 mm to 6mm in width. Adult teeth are about twice the width and 8 times the mass.

How can you tell if a tooth is an adult one?
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.

Sore gum and a wobbly tooth will the dentist give you a needle if you go?
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.
Can the tooth fairy tell the future?
Strictly speaking, tooth fairies do not exist and if hypothetically they do, then as their name suggests, they give a child gifts or money in exchange for a baby tooth that has fallen out. They do not tell the future, or at least not conventionally expected to.

How do you know that the tooth fairy isn't real?
The tooth fairy isn't real because I lost a tooth before and didn't tell my parents. Next day, I had no money under my pillow and the tooth was still there. So it's your parents who gives you the money. There is no such thing as a tooth fairy.
