Answers:
If you're under 25 and your tooth is very loose, it is probably a baby tooth. Unless you NEVER brush your teeth it would be unlikely that an adult tooth has become loose enough to fall out due to gum disease. On the other hand, if you're 65 and don't take good care of your teeth, then it is probably an adult tooth.Health Question & Answer

It is not uncommon for adults to retain a few baby teeth. However, chances are it IS a permanent tooth. If you cannot recall having lost a baby tooth in that space, you can always simply gauge the size of the tooth to determine whether it is a baby tooth or a permanent tooth.Health Question & Answer

Permanent teeth are bigger than baby teeth. And baby teeth have no roots by the time they are ready to fall out.
The only way to know for sure is to go to a dentist and have him take a look at it.
And grinding your teeth wears out a tooth's enamel so you might need a nightguard.Health Question & Answer
