What is the best course to take when a tooth has been loosened and a few days later falls out and now another tooth right next to it has loosened?

Loose teeth: This is not normal considering your age. You should seek medical help and see a dentist also. Sometimes vitamin c deficiency can cause loose gums. There are other causes too.

See dentist: It's not normal for teeth to be doing that and you certainly don't want to lose all your teeth.

Loose teeth: Are we talking about baby teeth or adult teeth? If adult see a dentist asap. If baby teeth than depending on the age it may make sense.

Seek Dental Care: Your teeth should not be falling out. Usually that is a sign of advanced gum disease or trauma. If you have a desire to keep your teeth seek an examination with a gum specialist, a periodontist, they can evaluate your teeth and help you choose a course of action.
