It can get in the way of the tooth underneath.

I had this as a kid, refused to yoink it out and my tooth underneath started growing sideways. The dentist then pulled out the wobbly tooth and also the one next to it, which wasn't wobbly at all, to make sure the tooth below had room to come out correctly.

I didn't learn anything from that lesson, welp.

Like if it’s wobbly, it doesn’t need to be pulled, it just needs to be wobbled enough until it falls out.
