Question

Hello doctor,

I feel like my teeth are loose and moving in front. It looks like my tongue is pushing them forward. When I look in the mirror, I can notice that one of my teeth has shifted. I do not know what happened and I am really scared. I try to brush my teeth at least once a day. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The feeling of teeth moving forward might be due to the following:

The eruption of the wisdom teeth - the force exerted by erupting tooth pushes the rest of the teeth forward.
Periodontitis - gum disease that causes migration of the teeth.
Mouth breathing - breathing through the mouth instead of the nose due to a nose block.
Tongue thrusting habit - tongue pressure pushes the teeth forward.

Tips for good oral hygiene:

Brush twice daily.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly soon after every meal.
Visit a dentist once every six months.
