“Do dead teeth fall out?”
I am a 49 year old male. I want to know if dead teeth fall out?

No they don't. You can have it extracted, or have a root canal if you want to save them.
You have to define "dead tooth" ? If you are referring to a tooth that has had root canal treatment the answer is generally No. Endodontically treated teeth that are properly restored can last a lifetime.
No
Eventually, but they can cause a whole host of problems and pain beforehand (like abscess, infection, periodontal disease, a negative effect on surrounding teeth, etc.).
yes
Hi,
Usually, when you say "dead" tooth, I believe you are talking about a tooth that has had endodontic retreatment, or a "root canal." That means the nerve and blood supply in the tooth became diseased and were removed, therefore giving the feeling that it is "dead." These teeth are more likely to fracture and are also more likely to move than teeth that are "alive." It is rare for the tooth to fall out on its own, though.

Sometimes they do. It depends on why the tooth is dead. If it was traumatized in an accident, the bone around it may be damaged and it may fall out.
That is a very interesting question. Thank you for asking. The first important thing is to determine if the tooth is dead. That is usually done by testing the tooth for what dentist’s call vitality, or being alive. This is done by applying something cold like ice to the tooth. There are many other tests that can be done.
The short answer, is, No, bad teeth did not just fall out of your head. Sometimes they can stay there for a very long time without anyone knowing they are dead. Other times they simply break and rock out. A lot of times, they rot and caused an abscess. I hope that helps.

Hello,
Dead teeth are those that don’t have pulp tissues, however, they still have their surrounding periodontal ligaments and bone that keep them intact. They don’t fall out unless they are periodontally compromised. Therefore optimal dental care and regular dental visits are highly recommended.

Not necessarily. Teeth that lose their vitality, require root canal treatment in order to remain useful and in your mouth. If not treated properly you may develop an infection. But non-vital teeth do not necessarily fall out of your mouth unless they also are experiencing bone loss.
