Slight movment in front teeth?!
Question: I've just notice a very slight movement in my front teeth when i move them with my fingers, i've recently been to the dentist so i'm unsure what it could be? Any suggestions? They don't hurt, i regularly brush my teeth & they're straight. I'm a bit worried they'll fall out or become too loose?
Thanks in advance.

yr teeth are not stuck to ur bone.. they are attached by periodontal ligaments so there is a physiological movement to all teeth that is normal. Usually, no more than 1mm movement. However, anythin more may be pathological, usually due to gum disease.brushing frequently dun mean u dun have gum disease if the technique is poor. U can brush 10 x a day with poor technique n still get gum disease. so go get it checked. Teeth do drift due to gum disease n if u notice ur getting a 'madonna' front teeth, go get it fixed quick. but if its just movin a bit, its normal. hope i helped,...
mine are like that too! they don't hurt or anything, but there is like you said, very slight movement. My dentist said I have short roots in my two front teeth so maybe that's why...
