Dental Implant is the best replacement for a missing tooth

Teeth do not just "fall out." Before you worry about replacing the loose tooth, you should first learn what is causing the problem. You may be able to prevent the tooth loss.

See dentist ASAP

I agree with my other dentist friends that you need to consult with the dentist to find the cause of problem. Sometimes we can save the teeth even it seems like that they will fall with advance treatments. Implant will be first choice for replacement and 2nd will be fixed bridge. Best of luck.
