My 5 year has a loose tooth and she's been running a fever with no other symptoms. I Googled it and I saw where some mom's said the same but I couldn't get any answers as to why. Has any other mom's experienced this an do you know why?
No I never did and never heard of this.
Why not pick up your phone and call your pediatrician's 24 hour nurse line and ask?
the one has nothing to do with the other.
your time would be better spent calling your pediatrician or a nurse hotline instead of googling.

I have never experienced this with my kids. Sounds like she caught a virus to me.
We never had a fever with a loose tooth.
Could be not tooth related at all.
Could be the loose tooth is sort of a break in the skin/gums - and it's an easy point for bacteria to enter - but that's unusual.
A fever means she's fighting an infection somewhere.
If she's uncomfortable see if childrens Tylenol helps to control it.
Monitor for further symptoms and call your pediatrician if it goes on for more than a few days.
Sounds coincidental to me.
Never experienced it here.
