    Front tooth fell out do you know why?
    My father is 53 years old and his front bottom tooth fell out today, although there does not look anything wrong with the tooth - it hasn't rotted at all. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year and is due for surgery on it next week - could the tooth loss be something to do with that?

    And is a dentist able to do anything about it for him, should he go visit a dentist?

    The tooth may have fallen out due to bone loss (gum disease). At this point it's best to talk to your dad's specialist before scheduling dental appointments.
