Loose teeth: Regarding the wound, it will heal on its own. Teeth falling out of your mouth indicates advanced periodontal disease. Not sure how many teeth you have left or if they have similar issues. If you want any chance of holding on to them, please see a local dentist for a consultation. In case you didn't know, periodontal disease can cause systemic problems.

Loose tooth: Adult teeth, unlike baby teeth, don't just fall out. This is a sign of a serious infection called Periodontal Disease. Please see a Dentist immediately. Periodontal disease has been implicated inseriousninflammatory disease of other organ systems.
