Reply:There is a difference. My method of finding if it is a adult tooth or still a baby tooth is quite simple. All there is to it is that the baby tooth will be a bit whiter than the adult teeth. I don't know why, but that is the truth and how I find out if there is someone with an adult or baby tooth. Hope I helped!
Reply:As a rule permanent teeth don't wiggle (as you put it) unless there is a serious bone loss problem and at your age (I'm guessing your under thirteen) bone loss is not normal in an otherwise healthy person. Baby teeth wiggle because they have little to no extended root on them. You may recall that when baby teeth has come out in the past, they looked more like say, a hat or cap, adult teeth have roots from one quarter to half inch in length. If your say 12 years of age you are probably finally cutting your 12 year molars....If this is an issue you can't deal with ask your parents to get you an appointment for a dental exam...If you haven't had one in a year, you need one anyway, Good luck and I wish you well.
Reply:If its loose, wiggle it, chances are its a deciduous tooth. A permanent tooth won't come out even if you wiggle it, the roots are too long.
