you need to consult with a dentist so they can advice you what you need to do. you don’t want to get gum infections.

It’s doubtless a baby tooth. Is it right at the back of your mouth? How many teeth do you have right now? Look in your mouth. On that side, from the middle, you should have at least 6 teeth and the one in the back is a huge one, a molar. If you do have only 6 and only one molar, then the tooth that you lost was a baby tooth and the second molar is about to come in. These teeth USUALLY come in around 12-13, but I know many people who didn’t get them in anticipation of 14-15. The reason it doesn’t have roots is because the adult tooth is nearly ready to come in. As it erupts, it “eats away” at the roots of the baby tooth in anticipation of it is loose enough to come out.

What do you reckon? Answer below!
