Is it bad to leave a loose tooth in your mouth?

I have not seen your radiograph nor have I examined your tooth, for the most part a tooth that is loose has lost a lot of bone support. If there is an opposing tooth in the other arch, every time you close, it's hitting against that loose tooth, and by rocking it, you are losing more bone, creating a deeper bone loss. If you ever want to replace that area, there will be a deeper void. It can also retain food particles and get gum disease (if you don't have it already). By all means, see a dentist, consult him, and most likely get that loose tooth out.
How do they prepare your tooth for a crown?

When a tooth is damaged, to receive a crown, dentists have to shape the tooth in such a way that the crown will not be bigger than the original tooth. We have to reduce about 2 mm from the tooth. That space will allow for the restorative material of the crown. If the crown is going to be "tooth color," we must make sure that the material will be strong and esthetic, so 2 mm is the space needed for durability and beauty of the final crown.Normally, the dentist has to use a local anesthetic to make sure that while preparing the tooth there will be NO pain. We use a high speed drill and new diamond coated burs to give the proper alignment to the preparation. A final impression (digital or with a precise material) is taken so we can make the new crown in the laboratory with a precise fit.

This is a difficult question as I have not seen the tooth nor the radiograph.

How long do you have to eat soft foods after dental implants?
It all depends on the implant procedure. if you had one implant I recommend three weeks on soft foods. If you had multiple implants, I try to avoid any hard foods on the implant READ MORE
It all depends on the implant procedure. if you had one implant I recommend three weeks on soft foods. If you had multiple implants, I try to avoid any hard foods on the implant area for 8-12 weeks, or until the final restoration is completed and even then avoid hard foods for several weeks. Remember we placed implants on bone and it takes 3-6 months for the implant to integrate.
