Well, my orthodontist (sp?) pulled out my baby tooth and it doesn't seem to be growing back - yet he says he can see it in the gums. I believe him, but it's been ages, why won't it come through? I can't even grin without having a big gap in my mouth!
Plus, on the right side of my mouth my tooth is really loose - the front of it is disconnected to my gum but the back of it is firmly attached to my gum, so I can't get it out!!
And on the left side of my mouth, a tooth which had just came loose came out in about 2 minutes because of eating a chewy cookie. I can't eat properly yet because it feels all... gummy. XD So I've got two gaps and one loose tooth.
How long do you think I'll have to wait for my only loose tooth to come out?
And is there an estimated time for waiting for a tooth to grow?
Personally, I think I didn't need that tooth being pulled out - it was too early.

Oh no. The pangs of growing up! Personally, I would probably keep fiddling with it with my tongue to 'encourage' it to come out. I mean that honestly. I'm sure others will read too much in to that and draw their own twisted & perverted opinions! But yeah. Having a loose tooth is a pain. Won't your dentist take it out? You don't want to swallow it by accident if it comes out while eating! Sorting out the loose tooth is what you need to think about rather tthan when will the other tooth come through. As someone that's been there and done that, I'd say wiggle it with your tongue and hopefully it should come out soon. Good luck.

Mine seemed to take forever to fully come in, but trust me yours will. You may want to let the loose tooth on the right side just come out by itself whenever it's ready. Everyone's gums are different when it comes to growing a new tooth.
Two gaps and one loose tooth aren't bad, mine was worse than that. Maybe you'll get braces when it's time. Lolz cookies can be a lil rough on teeth, but they sure are good!

Well , you do not mention your age, but I am assuming you must be about 15? Am I right?
It sounds like you are going through a difficult time right now, with your teeth, but it does sound like you will just have to wait a bit for things to get better.
It shouldn't take too long for your wobbly tooth to come out. It might take a little longer for the new teeth to grow, but I am sure you will feel better once you see them starting to grow!
It does sound like there was not much point to the tooth being pulled out - but I am not a dentist.
As long as none of the teeth you are waiting for are Wisdom teeth, you should be alright. My wisdom teeth never came through, but I don't think this happesn with the other teeth - so don't worry and be patient!
Hope this helps:>)

Just wait for your teeth to grow and you got a loose tooth from eating a cookie? thats not good your teeth is very sensitive but all your baby teeth is being loose now thats good and if you got a gap and you lick that gap, it will slow down the process of the teeth growing and it will come out weird and you will need braces in the future which cost MONEY!!
Good Luck

If you did not get rid of the baby tooth the new tooth would not be able to come in,you sound like you have a lot of teeth problems.
