Can Your Front Tooth Just Fall out of Your Mouth? (photo)

Asked By:kart0321 in Phoenix, AZ

What is holding it other then gums? I really feel like my top right front tooth is going to fall out. My gums have receded quite a lot in the last couple years and from what I've noticed they just continue to shrink too, and I am absolutely terrified I'm going to lose it any day now. I know your other teeth are held in by roots but does that go the same for the two front teeth? Idk I hope these pictures help a little to show how far up and receded my gums are and, or the spaces between teeth!?
