I just noticed on of my front teeth if I try to move it can be moved like a extrememly small bit, I can fell it too. I asked my friend and he said his do that too and its normal, just be able to move very slightly. Like I can hear a slight sound and feel a slight wiggle sensation, nothing major at all. But im just wondering if my tooth is gonna fall out one day which would suck. Anyone able to very slightly move one of your front teeth?

When I was about six or seven yeah... And I think when I had my braces off, I needed to get a night brace to keep them in place (I vaguely remember one wiggling a bit then). They were loosened from being constantly moved.
Now my teeth are solid.
Go to the dentist to get your gums cleaned, floss daily, brush teeth two or three times a day, have plenty of calcium, not too much sugar or unnatural foods (including beer, coffee, cocoa, soda)... and don't get in any fights, and it should heal itself eventually.

I HAVE THE SAME THING AND IT IS NORMAL!!!! Listen to me!!!! I actually have been worried the same as you and freaking out cause I do not want my teeth to fall out. I asked my dentist in March when I went for my normal cleaning and he said teeth are suppossed to move alittle. They are like shock absorbers. Imagine.... you drive in a car with no shock abosrbers and you go over a speed bump. Without shock absorbers, your wheels will fall off and you would be without a car. Same for your teeth. They need to have some mobility to be able to bite off and chew food. However, if you grind your teeth or clinch them, they can become more loose. I do that and I am going to get a splint made so I am unable to grind anymore. I asked the dentist and he said that constant biting down cause irritate your teeth however if you stop, they will tighten up. Imagine again.... you have a bruise and you keep getting it hit. It will never go away and the pain will always stay. You stop hitting the bruise and it will go away. Same with grinding and clinching. Your teeth will harden back up over time. What I would recommend is going to your dentist and ask them about it. They will probably tell you are teeth are FINE! But, since I am not a dentist, I cannot diagnose you.... especially over Yahoo. I really hope this helps. Actually, believe it or not.... all your teeth are suppossed to move alittle. You just see it more in the front cause you can get to those better. If people actually stood infront of a mirror, they would see the same thing. Go to the dentist though to be sure.

Are you talking about your permanent tooth?
No, it is not normal to be able to wiggle your teeth---even a little. You need to see a dentist.
