Should loose teeth be pulled out?

Loose teeth: Loose teeth are not healthy teeth, but treatment depends on what is going on. You don't what to extract a tooth without a good reason and a plan to replace it. See a dentist to find out why your teeth are loose, and what your treatment options are.

Depend on the cause: The most common causes are oral trauma, bruxism (nighttime tooth grinding) and advanced gum disease. Losing a permanent tooth is preventable but if the tooth is beyond saving, a tooth extraction may be necessary.
