My baby tooth is coming loose and there isn’t an adult tooth underneath it.

Q.
I was born without a canine adult tooth and my baby one is coming very loose now i’m nineteen. Soon i’ll have to get a replacement, I was wondering how expensive this would be and is there anything that covers not being born without an adult tooth?? My parents think it’ll cost thousands and refuse to pay for it and I cant afford the implant myself. I’ve read abit about bridges too but it says they wouldnt help prevent bone loss. What would be the best thing for me to do?
A.
Dear Enquirer,
Considering your age, I would recommend an implant to replace the one missing tooth. Prices are around the £2500 mark which you would need to fund.Bridges involve some drilling on the adjacent teeth so implants may be a better alternative.
