I wouldn't risk it..
If it is that lose, bacteria from your mouth and also from food can go into the cavity of your tooth and cause some extreme infections, and your gums can actually start to "puss"..
If the nerve is exposed, you could possibly damage it for life, even if you don't feel it's exposed, you should still go to the dentist asap..Health Question & Answer

I would atleast call on it and see what the dentist says.. Let a professinal maek a decision on the situation..Health Question & Answer
