Patient's Query
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.
For further follow up attach pictures of your oral cavity to a dentist online.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
