How much tooth movement is normal for your front two adult teeth?!


Question: up to .25 mm, if there was absolutly no movement it would be considered not normal, it is called ankylosis and means your tooth is fused to the bone.

Here are the grades of mobility:
0- no mobility
N- normal movement, up to .25 mm
1- slight mobility, up to & including 1 mm
2- moderate mobility, total movement of more than 1 mm in facial to lingual direction (meaning cheek to tongue movement)
3- severe mobility, greater than 1mm in any direction (facial, lingual, apically-tooth is depressed in socket)

From my periodontics manual

I dont think your teeth are suppose to move. You may have a gum diease. Better get to the dentist to have it checked

Assuming that you are not 7 when you lose those baby teeth and the permanent ones come in, the answer is none. Those teeth are supposed to be in solid. If you have any movement, get to a dentist as fast as possible before you lose them.

None. If your front teeth or any of your teeth are moving, you have a problem. Go see the dentist.

your teeth should not be mobile. You may have gum disease, you need to see your dentist. Sometimes gum disease can be arrested. You need to get right on to it. Gum Disease doesnt just affect your teeth, it can inpact on your general health...

Best of luck........
