A nail falls off because there has been an injury to the nail and the part of the finger below. This causes the blood flow and nerve endings to separate from the nail so it falls off.

If you slam a door shut on your nail will it fall off?

It might - it depends on the damage to the nail bed, just behind the cuticle. In some cases, the nail will fall off relatively soon. In other cases, there will be a break or overlap when a new nail begins behind the old one - this is the most difficult situation to treat, as the new nail may be misshapen (this more frequently occurs on broken toenails).
