Could Decay In Molar Tooth Cause Fall Out?

can a molar decay and fall out? I had a tooth extracted that had already had a partial root canal. My dentist realized he could not save it and pulled it. The molar tooth behind it is chipped and in bad shape, but dosn't hurt. Since i have had the other one pulled it has been sore. (not like a toothache, more like spacers before braces) It is wiggling and loose, and seems like it is coming out little by little? Is it possible for it to just fall out?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Yes , it is possible for a tooth to fall out .

Since the adjacent tooth is missing , the tooth starts to move as it has more space created , thus begins to get loose ,eventually falling out.

I would suggest you to visit your dentist and check it .Get it extracted .Replace the missing teeth, if not the opposite jaw will start to cause problem .

If pain you can take ibuprofen( if you are not allergic to any medicine) .

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to get it examined by the concerned Dentist also take an x-ray of the tooth, look the reason for mobility whether iinfection or it has become loosened while extracting the tooth, loosened tooth can be splinted if it is badly infected can be removed by the Dentist safely.

Take care!
