What is the best thing to do with a loose tooth pull it or let it fall out by it self?
The best approach to a loose tooth often depends on the individual situation. If the tooth is very loose and causing discomfort, gently pulling it out can be a good option, as it can alleviate pain and facilitate the growth of the adult tooth. However, if the tooth is only slightly loose, it might be best to let it fall out naturally, as this can minimize trauma to the gums and surrounding tissue. Always consider consulting a dentist for guidance based on the specific condition of the tooth.
How loose should a tooth be before you decide to pull it out?
A tooth should be very loose before you decide to pull it out. It should be wiggly and almost falling out on its own. If it is still firmly attached, it is best to let it fall out naturally.
When does a wisdom tooth need to be surgically removed?

What happens if your loose baby tooth has a cavity?
I just had my top two wisdom teeth pulled a couple days ago due to cavities in each one of them. It is very painful having cavitites in them. The cavities caused both my wisdom teeth to break and fall apart down to the gum. it was causing me migranes and severe toothaches. I suggest as soon as u think u may have a cavity in a wisdom tooth get it takin care of before this happens.

If the gum around one a wisdom tooth is a little loose but the wisdom teeth otherwise seem perfectly fine what should be done about it?
Quite often, a piece of gum tissue overlies the wisdom tooth which is partially through. Keep the area as clean as possible, otherwise attend your dental checkups as recommended so your dentist can keep it under observation. If the loose gum is causing you pain or severe irritation, then the wisdom tooth may need to come out, but it sounds unlikely from what you describe. There is no need to have wisdom teeth removed, unless they are causing problems such as pain, swelling, infection, decay in the tooth in front etc. Very often, the risks of wisdom tooth removal outweigh the benefits. Sometimes a wisdom tooth does not erupt completely, and creates an extension of gum called operculum. While eating and chewing on food, this operculum can be irritated and infected causing a pericoronitis. This condition has signs of intense pain, redness, a bad smell and a difficulty of opening the mouth. If the operculum does not go away, it is advised to extract the wisdom tooth to prevent complications of the pericoronitis. Under certain conditions, if the wisdom tooth has erupted, but an operculum is still present, it is possible to make an operculectomy, which is the removal of the extension of the gum itself without extracting the tooth.

Is it possible for a tooth to start growing under your loose tooth?
Yes, it is very possible to have a tooth grow under a loose tooth. I have experienced this before. If the tooth hasn't come out when the tooth under it is almost done growing, you should see a dentist. I visited a dentist and got my tooth pulled out.
If a dentist recommends that you remove your second molar tooth instead of your wisdom tooth is that a bad choice if the second molar is in very bad condition?
I'd follow the advice of the dentist, since the wisdom tooth can move forward after the second molar is removed.
How do you pull out a tooth that is sort of loose?
What I do is stick my nail underneath my tooth. You do this by going to the very top of the tooth (where the tooth and gum meet) and try to push the top of the tooth out. May seem painful but it isn't! Or you could also eat something chewy. Well i have lost 5 teeth in the past three months by doing the listed! If you think you should just wait for it to fall out, you're right. But if it's so loose that it's bugging you, I'd do this.
