When periodontitis is left untreated, it can result in loss of the structures that hold the teeth, resulting in loosening of the teeth up to tooth loss, which can also cause problems chewing. Other consequences include the impact on general health as well as bad breath, shifting teeth, changes in bite and possibly even speech, which leads to self-consciousness and embarrassment.

Tooth doesn't fall on its own. Definately there is gum and bone related problem that has been overlooked for years and now they have loosened. You need to get yourself checked before anymore tooth get lost. Natural tooth is always precious and nothing can give you the strength original tooth has.
Next Steps
get checked by a dentist asap.
