15 Years Old With Wobbily Adult Teeth Posted: 05-30-05 18:43pm
Well i'm not sure that the problem is,
ever since I was about 11 with adult teeth
I have noticed they are slightly wobbily.
Recently it has gotten slightly worse.
By wobbily I mean that if I put my finger
on a tooth and then push it with another
tooth I can feel it wobbly only slightly.
I can see it just move a little bit in the
mirror.
Now you would expect my teeth to be messed
up, but they arn't(well wobbily...)! I
have no tooth decay, no fillings, no holes
or any other dental work.
My dentist has't picked up on this, and
each time he sees me he says my teeth are
fine, and doesn't even give them a scale
or polish.
I only my brush my teeth once a day tho,
because no matter what toothpaste I use it
always dries my mouth out really bad so I
only brush at night, because if I brush in
the morning then it's really unpleasant at
school, I always have a glass/bottle of
water afgter brushing but my mouth still
gets dry.
When I feel my gums, they are smooth for
the back two molars but everywhere else
they are bumpy, the bumps are directly
below where the teeth are in the gum.
When I feel my jaw bone it isn't smooth it
is slighly bumpy(don't think this is
normal).
I don't feel comfortable telling my family
about this, so I havn't but at the dentist
I goto all my family goes into the room at
the same time, so much for confidentiality
eh? So I can't tell him either(i know it
sounds daft).
All my teeth are wobbily except the last 2
molars! Is this common and what dental
precedures are there to correct this?

Well as you can probably guess the first
step is to go to the dentist and tell him.
Actually you dont sound like you have a
good dentist if he never saw this problem
before. Find a new one you know can help
you better care for your teeth
please go and have this corrected, you may
have a gum disease or it may not be
serious at all, you will only know when
you go and have it checked. Dont let it
turn into a serious problem that is
irreversible, something that you will
regret later. Get your teeth fixed now
when they still can be. Take care and I
hope you feel better.

My teeth have been very slightly wobbily
too since they came in (which was forever
ago). I used to worry about it, like you
are, but years and years pass, dentist
never said anything, nothing ever
happened... I think that teeth may just
be like that, and only us who over-obsess
about our teeth notice it. You did say
it was just a tiny tiny bit of wobble,
right?

If you clinch or grin your teeth it will
cause that. Some people grind-clinch
there teeth at night and are not aware of
it.

Well, my tooth is wobbily right now(only a
tiny bit...It isn't even noticable in the
mirror) and i'm so worried it'll get worse
and fall out. Do people go through this
and it never actually falls out?
