Loose tooth
I have a loose tooth in my upper jaw.
A dentist told me that it's a baby teeth having no roots.
There isn't much pain but the teeth wiggles quite bad. It's irritating and keeps me worried.
Its been more then a week now. What are my options once it falls off... And how long does it usually take for it to fall off?

It might fall anytime soon but it is difficult to give a specific timeline. Instead of waiting for it to fall, you can get it removed by your dentist. Once it is out, your options are removable and fixed prosthesis. Fixed can be bridge or implant. Removable ones are not so comfortable. Considering your age, you should go for fixed prosthesis. Implant would be the best choice for you.
Next Steps
Talk to your dentist about the replacement options and discuss in detail the advantages, disadvantages, cost involved etc.
