I've had crowns in my mouth for years and years. They aren't supposed to fall out ever. If you're having problems like that, go back to the dentist & keep going back until the crown is done right.'

Seeing as how I don't know you, I won't be able to keep YOUR tooth crown in MY mouth for any length of time, and even if I did know you, I certainly wouldn't keep any of your body parts in my mouth for more than half an hour.

Are you trying to keep your loose baby teeth in your mouth? I wouldn't recommend leaving them in on purpose. As the new tooth pushes it's way out, the old tooth is slowl dissolved by the body. Sounds fine, right? After a while the old tooth will just "go away," right?

Wrong. Once the old tooth gets dissolved enough, there will be nothing left but a thin cap of enamel, which will shatter at some point while you're eating. You might swallow parts of it, or pieces that haven't wiggled free could get stuck in your gum, and might get infected.

Beyond this, any loose tooth or tooth pieces could trap food, or allow bacteria to grow. At the very least, this can be a source of bad breath. At worst, it can cause an infection of gingivitis, tooth decay, or even gangrene.

So go ahead, and wiggle it out. No need to rush much, but there's no reason to have the same loose tooth for more than a few months.
