Child's loose molar

Hiya. My kid's 11-year molars are coming in fast and furious.

There's currently an old molar that's hanging on to the side closest to the roof of the mouth. My kid is wiggling and wiggling. We did a salt water rinse. I gave it a wiggle -thinking I could pull it out- but it's really stuck on there while the rest of the tooth is flopping around.

It's Saturday so our dentist's office is closed. Does this qualify as a dental emergency? My kid doesn't want to eat with the tooth like this. Should we just keep wiggling?

Thanks!
