It depends a great deal on why it's loose. If it's loose because of bone loss, it probably won't tighten up. Sometimes periodontal disease impacts a tooth becoming loose. The gums can start to recede and pockets form. Seeing a periodontist can help with these issues. About the only way to know with certainty is to go to your dentist and let them x-ray the tooth. Sometimes, something needs to be done to let the teeth tighten up. Clenching your teeth can loosen especially front teeth, and a bite guard can take care of that. In some cases, a dentist will splint the loose tooth to the ones around it to stabilize it while it tightens back up.

If the adult tooth is very loose and/or dead, yes, it can fall out of have to be pulled out by a dentist. Adult teeth do not grow back. If you loose an adult tooth, you either have to get a bridge or implant to replace it. Otherwise, you will just have a hole there where the tooth used to be.

KATRINA,
A LOOSE ADULT TOOTH WILL NEVER JUST GROW BACK.THERE ARE CERTAIN CASES WHERE A LOOSE ADULT TOOTH MAY BECOME LESS LOOSE WITH PROPER PERIODONTAL CARE AND BECOME STEADY.
