I answered this for the OP awhile ago in a dfferent thread but wanted to answer here. Anytime there are loose adult teeth it is probably peridontal disease. This disease has to do with infection which can spread to the major organs. If your dogs teeth are wiggly, it would surprise me if the vet doesn't want to clean them and pull some. It is VERY important to get this done. My Yorkie ate mostly hard food for the first five years of her life and has stage 3-4 periodontal idsease (4 is worst). She got her teeth cleaned in January and now she is on homecooked food (which is soft) and gets her teeth brushed everyday. I wouldn't worry about feeding soft food but the teeth need to be brushed or another product (like Petzlife if it works for you) should be used.
