my two front teeth are slightly wobbly?!


Question: My two front teeth are slightly wobbly?
I'm 15 and i don't spoke or drink. Recently my front two top teeth seem very slightly wobbly. Well they don't so much wobble but i feel i can move them back and forth but needs slight force and i can't move them with my tongue. I've also got a white spot on my upper gum it hasn't changed at all and i've had it for ages. I've been wondering if that had anything to do with it. I'm worried that they might fall out but they've been like this for weeks and haven't got any worse. I've been brushing extra times a day but it's not working. Any ideas on why they have become loose or could i be imagining things?

Pushing it with your fingers can feel like it's wobbly as your skin moves, so it gives the illusion your tooth is wobbly. Could be an ulcer above it, is it sore to touch it? If you are concerned go and see your dentist, get it sorted just in case it gets worse.



You should speak to a Dentist as this isn't normal. At 15 you have lost your baby teeth so your adult teeth are the only ones you have!

Its probably not a good idea to keep moving the teeth with your tongue though, tempting as it is you should get to a dentist who will be able to tell you if you need any treatment.



You could be iagining things. Teeth are not as solid as you think!

Also, the more you wobble them, the looser they will get. Leave them alone and let the gums grow and heal round them.

Also, the very best thing to do at all is GET TO A DENTIST!

Dentist's appointment this Friday for a filling. Thank God. Haven't been able to eat on one side all through Xmas.



don't brush extra times that will make it worse your Dentist will be able to fix it. I had the same problem i got some pills from him and that cleared up the spot don't worry nothing to be worried about



That's ok it's normal, if they moved to the the extent of a loose baby tooth e.g. when you can contort and twist them, when you feel the roots crunching and ready to come loose, can move with your tongue and very slight pressure, that's when you worry.

There are some things to take into account however that can be legitimate to loose teeth - plaque for example; calculus more commonly known as tartar, white hardened plaque that covers between the teeth can lead to erosion/decay over time, if left untouched this can lead to a false sense of security that your teeth is still strong - because the plaque itself holds the tooth strong until however the plaque is treated by a dentist (If too late) can reveal the damage caused; the true condition of your tooth's stability - once scraped off your teeth will (If badly damaged by the plaque) will be loose, as the plaque formed their stability whilst simultaneously it eroded the tooth underneath at the roots.



Brushing your teeth alone with an ordinary tooth brush is not enough alone (plus you can over-brush your teeth too, which will cause the gum line to recede). You need to have an active tooth flossing & mouth washing regime too as 40% of your teeth surface is inbetween your teeth and so cannot be accessed by ordinary tooth brushing.

Gum disease is the biggest cause of tooth loss next to decay, and loose/wobbly teeth can be a symptom of gum disease. Over 80% of the population will get gum disease at some point in their lifetimes, it is a very common dental problem. It sometimes shows numerous symptoms (bleeding gums, raw gums, wobbly teeth, bad breath etc) but also often shows none at all.
I know this because a couple of my teeth once went wobbly because of gum disease that i didn't know about, but i managed to save the teeth and get rid of the gum disease by using a better teeth cleaning regime based on advice from my dentist etc.

So i would advise flossing & mouth washing your teeth twice a day on top of the ordinary tooth brushing. You can over-brush teeth so you need to be careful with tooth brushing. And go see your dentist :) !
