Are premolars supposed to fall out or is it permanent already??

Premanent: At 35 you may have either a 2 or 3 year baby molar, with no underlying permanent premolars, that just now is falling out. Or you may have a permanent premolars with adjacent gum/bone disease, cyst, or neoplasm. Please see a Dentist who will take appropriate x-ray's to be able to properly advise you.

Premolars: Premolars are secondary (permanent) teeth and therefore are not suppose to "fall out".

My bracket that is bonded to a porcelain crown had fallen off 3 times during my sleep this week. The bracket is on the Premolar tooth. I didn't eat anything hard, crunchy, or even chewy. What can I suggest to the dentist so it doesn't fall off again?

My friend is 15, and her bicuspid/premolar tooth fell out, does that mean it's her baby tooth falling out , or did her tooth permanently fall out?
So, I've noticed that my first bicuspid is loose, but read online it's not supposed to be like that. Is it normal if it falls at the age of 15-18?
Will second bicuspid molars fall out of 10 year old mouth and regrow?
Two of my permanent teeth never grew (lower second premolars). I am 17 years old. Is that normal? Can you live just as well without those?
Had a cusp on upper premolar that was cutting into tongue filed down and almost immediately began getting sensitivity in the tooth. Will this go away or permanent? If it does not go away what can be done? Thanks?
