Alright- so around July I was eating an apple and it hurt a lot.. so I stopped (it hurt on my one tooth). Since than.. everytime I eat.. my tooth is slightly wiggly. But only after I eat- never anytime else. Is there something I could do to stop this?

Is there anything other than the dentist? IT happened after I ate an apple- so.. it shouldn't be that I have gum disease or anything.

Its a permanent tooth.. the tooth behind the canines.... like I said... I ate an apple... and it happened.

Is it possible that it could just heal itself? It doesn't seem to be as bad as it was at first- and when I talk about wiggly... I notice it moving.. but its only for about 20 seconds after I've eaten something... and its very very slight

are you a young adult or child? Could be a tooth trying to come out: baby teeth which are not planted very deep. If you are an adult and this is a permanent tooth, you may have bad gingivitis which causes the gum to pull away and the anchor for the tooth becomes week also related to nutrition: not enough vitamins and minerals can weaken your teeth and gums causing them to wiggle when eating a hard substance. You should probably see a dentist.

First of all, how old are you ??? Is this a permanent or primary baby tooth that's wiggling? If its a permanent tooth I would go to my dentist & have it checked, you may be having some periodontal or gum problem.

Unless you are five years old and it was a baby tooth you are in big trouble. Loose tooth usually indicates bad gum problems leading to loss of bone in the socket that holds the tooth. You need to do something about it and it unfortunately will not be cheap.

I'd reccomend going to the dentist if you're sure it's not a baby tooth. You might have to get it pulled because it could be a dead tooth.
