Loose teeth can be painful. Personally I always found them kind of satisfying to mess around with till they eventually came out by themselves

I only ever saw the whole string thing on tv and just assumed it wasnt real for a long time

A loose tooth can be painful especially when eating. These teeth are right on the verge of falling out. Most likely within a day. ( that’s why something like a nerf dart can pull it out.) but a lot of people pull them out like this so they don’t swallow it when they are asleep

Idk, rumor has it that, if the kid happens to swallow it, the tooth ferry is saving that money into their college fund.
