You need to see your dentist for proper instructions about the loose teeth. First the dentist will examine your teeth and make a diagnosis for the condition. From the diagnosis the dentist will have a treatment plan suitable for the condition. There are many causes for loose teeth and so are the treatments. The unmissable one being teeth professional cleaning. You may also need some dentists' instructions on general dental care.
Without scaring you I would suggest you visit the dentist as soon as possible because loose teeth could indicate severe gum disease which research has shown to be related to heart diseases. It is not always that loose teeth are extracted but it may not be ruled out.

It is more than likely gum disease and it depends on the severity of it on wether it can be helped. See a dentist. If it's not to far gone they can do a deep cleaning to help some of the gums to heal. The bone around the tooth won't grow back, but the gums can heal up a little. A dentist can show you visuals and explain it a little more.

It really depends on why they are loose, they can sometiems be reattached but it is almost always as a result of an accident and is done almost immediately. If your teeth are looseright now then germs and bateria is getting in there and starting to cause problems, so if they are loose now there won't be any hope.

How many teeth? If it's several, it would suggest gum disease.
It can be caught by your dentist. Try Corsodyl mouthwash meanwhile. If you smoke, stop. Smoking makes the problem worse. (I've been there!) See your dentist ASAP.

Depends whats caused then to be loose!
Try rubbing your gums with whiskey that shrinks the gum a bit and tightens the teeth.
If after half a bottle it hasnt worked - you wont care!
Seriously though, go see a dentist!

sounds like it could be gum disease
go to the dentist every six months, eat healthily, don't take recreational drugs
see the hygienist, get advice how to brush your teeth, floss and eat healthily
