Hi all, (first time poster)

for probably a few months now my wisdom tooth on the top right of my mouth has been wobbly, over the last couple of days it has become very wobbly.. to the extent it will just about bend to a 90 degree angle if that makes sense, just feels like somthing is holding it in place on one side only.

Ideally id love it to just simply drop out, and not cause me any pain or risk of infection!

can anyone advise/comment on this please?

thanks
 
Its not normal for permanent teeth to just fall out...I would make an appointment with your dentist.
 
If it is a wisdom tooth, then they will simply take it out. If a root broke off, then they will need to "dig" out the remainder (which sounds worse than it is).

If the tooth is loose due to decay, then you may need an antibiotic.

My opinion as a non-dentist. :D
