How long does it take the permanent tooth to grow after the baby one is pulled?
It depends on a number of factors. Was the baby tooth loose at the time? If so, the permanent tooth should begin erupting into the mouth within just a few days or weeks. If the baby tooth was not loose, it could take several months, depending on the state of development of the permanent tooth. After taking an x-ray of the area, a dentist could make a fairly accurate prediction of how long the permanent tooth will take to grow in. If the baby tooth was lost prematurely, a space maintainer might need to be placed to prevent future orthodontic or occlusion problems. Check with a dentist.

How can you pull out your tooth if its stuck in between two other teeth?
The root surfaces will detach on each side at different times. You should not pull on a loose tooth until the root separates or you may cause an infection (or the closing of the gums over the following tooth). Generally, gripping the tooth with a cloth and lifting will work eventually. Do not try to force it sideways, as this could injure the gums or even misalign the permanent tooth.

Can milk help your permanent teeth that are loose?
No. Tooth decay is irreversible. While the calcium in milk can help make teeth stronger, it cannot help reverse damage that has been done to them. If your teeth have been so badly neglected that they are falling out, the only thing to do is have them removed before they cause a serious infection.
