well, i had this same problem with my canines, n it looked like i was a vampire for a while til i got my teeth fixed w braces. i had already had other baby teeth pulled, so we kinda waited for this one to loosen up. it was really stubborn n i finally ulled it out myself one day. i couldnt pull it cuz i thought it would hurt to much and all the root was gone so i was able to twist it. i just grabbed n twisted n twisted for a while til it let go. the only thing it was hangin on by was the vein n nerves running into it, so it was easy to twist. i did have to go to the dentist later though cuz my teeth were just too crowded n they fixed things up for me, but we saved on the money and the anesthetic by waiting n me doin it myself. now i have regular looking straight teeth. i would recommend gong to the dentist though, rather than home dentistry lol.

I had this problem, just as everyone has stated, see the dentist and they will pull it out in less than a second. When the dentist pulled my baby tooth out, the other (adult tooth) came right up in less than 2 weeks. Smooth sailing...just go to the dentist because if it was going to fall out I think it would have done so already. Good Luck!

Go to the dentist and have the baby tooth pulled so the other one can grow in straight.

That is an easy problem for a dentist to take care of. He can remove the baby tooth.

that happened to me when i was younger. i went to a dentist and they set up and appointment and pulled the baby tooth for me. it was really easy. if you want you can wait and see what happens, but the tooth wont get loose if theres another one wedged in behind it. hope that helped!

get the baby tooth pulled. they generally don't have much for roots. go to the dentist and see what he says, but most likely he will pull it. it is no big deal. if you leave it, it may cause the permanent to grow in crooked.

you should have the baby tooth pulled out to prevent the permanent tooth from becoming crooked as it grows in

See your dentist and he will pull the baby tooth for you. This is real common.

My granddaughter had that. Eventually the front tooth became loose and fell out and the adult tooth fit right in its place.

We called that 'shark teeth' when I was a kid. I knew a couple kids this happened to and they turned out fine. I would go see a dentist though and see what he has to tell you.
