Just like kids, cats will lose their baby teeth, and it usually causes no problems. In fact, they often swallow the tooth so you never know. I would just leave it alone unless it causes her problems when she eats, then you could try and 'encourage' it to fall out.
But the loss of a tooth is also a signal that she is ready to be spayed, and you really want to do that before she goes into heat.

If it is really loose get a dry cloth and pull really fast for it can become sore but if it just started to get lose then see what another day will do.

Cats get to have 3 sets of teeth. Milk, Baby, Adult.
It should fall out on its own, but if it is not, and bothering her, help her, and pull it out.

if it's brown and hanging, open her mouth with two fingers, one at each side of her mouth, and use your free hand to gently tug. If it doesn't come right out, leave it be. If it starts to stink, certainly go to the vet.

It will fall off by itself if ypu just leave it alone. However, if it is moving so much that it is about to fall off without applying any force to it, you could pull it.
