Q: 15 Years Old With Wobbily Adult Teeth

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?

i'm 14 and i have it too.
i told my dentist about it, and he said that it's fine and that it's only happening because my teeth are having to move around to make room. so don't worry!
i suggest you tell your dentist anyway, just to be sure.
