I have several teeth that move just a TINY bit if I press on them, will using my floride toothpaste more often correct this? I haven't been using it as much as I should because I never remember to use it.

Its normal for all teeth to move a TINY bit when pressure is applied. Teeth arent fixed solidly to bone but rather have an elastic cushion seperating the tooth from bone.
I'm intrigued to know why you choose not to use a fluoride toothpaste from time to time. Everybody should be using a good strong fluoride toothpaste. Anything else just isnt good enough.
If in doubt have a quick chat with your dentist who will assess your gums and warn you of any early disease or future probs.
By the way, fluoride will undoubtedly NOT fix a mobility problem with anyones teeth

Flouride will not correct this problem. I would suggest you get dental advice as you could have some gum disease which is causing the teeth to loosen. Its better to get it looked at now than leave it and find you have VERY loose teeth!;

i dont think so, fluoride is to strengthen the enamel of the tooth (the crown), but if your tooth is moving its another problem, a problem with your gum, but for sure, fluoride will not correct it, just go to the dentist to fix it, dont worry, gud luck ^_^
