Have you ever had a tooth rot at the roots enough to come out?

my molar ive had filled twice already and the last time of which was told it was dead but since it never got abscessed filled it anyway for me since I am missing most my molars already. But recently the filling fell out again and revealed a rotten gaping hole. and it was really loose and I have been working on it and it is probably easy enough to pull out on my own, i cant afford a dentist trip anyways but i dont know if ive ever heard of adult teeth becoming that loose? is that normal? how many adults have ever had a tooth get rotten enough to take out themselves?

What is happening to you is very common with people who have decay and periodontal disease in their mouth.

You risk infection traveling throughout your entire body if you don't get the situation handled so get it handled by a professional.

Brushing 2x per day, flossing once per day can prevent tooth loss.

Also, not eating things that can crack your teeth will prevent that as well.
